Eric BrehmI think many collectors use SMR as a guide, even if they have to apply some sort of multiplier to arrive at a realistic price expectation. It does give an idea of the relative value of different cards within a particular set. I track T206 HOFers in mid-grades (most with very plentiful graded populations) and they have been going lately for somewhere between SMR and double SMR on eBay, depending on the quality of the card within the grade (centering, print and image quality, etc.). And of course prices do vary from one auction to the next, depending on who happens to want the card and shows up to bid on it.
