Speaking of the SMR, it is frustrating that the section on vintage cards doesn't better reflect actual market prices. I can understand that the yearly guides can't anticipate trends over 12 months, but a monthly guide has the ability to stay on top of prices. And yet while vintage cards are skyrocketing, I get the SMR each month and 98% of the prices remain unchanged. Doesn't somebody who is in charge of compiling numbers know that E-cards, among others, often sell 3x-5x the prices that are listed? That's just showing indifference to the marketplace, so why even bother. Do others feel that the SMR could do a much better job?
