Eric BrehmI don't own or use SCD or Beckett but I wonder if I should better familiarize myself with their systems. Whenever I go into a card shop that sells mostly raw cards they always whip out Beckett when trying to convince me they are offering me a good deal on something. This is always confusing since Beckett, if I recall correctly, has 'high' and 'low' price columns, uses different reference grades for each issue depending upon its age, and then has percentage factors that get applied to the reference value to determine the value of cards in other grades. It seems like I need a calculator in order to negotiate with the salesman.
