I have never "once" consulted the price guide before I bid on ebay or an auction. I guess I never thought of it. I place a value on something, based on what it means to me, or my collection. I guess because I have been in this so long, I don't need to consult the guide. In many cases the prices in the guides are so far off, it makes no sense to consult them in the first place. Especially with the rarer 19th cen, and early 20th cen. cards. If you are new in this hobby, maybe it makes sense to peak at the guide before bidding. After a few years, you will develop a 6th sense, and not need it anymore.
