Default So...

You could only get 60% of SMR on them, but isn't that what you should have bought them for in the first place?? And let's assume you resold some nice Goudey's for 80% of SMR, but what did you have to pay for those card in the first place? SMRs inaccuracy of post-war prices and perhaps closer to reality prices on pre-war stuff, does not prove the point that pre-war cards hold more value than post-war ones relative to what you put into them...

I can tell you right now that if in a pinch I needed to sell my cards, I could set up at a card show & be guaranteed to complete sales on rookies of Maris, Mays, Koufax, etc. with ease. On the otherhand, if I had some pre-war stuff and set up, it would take the right niche collector/dealer to fork over several thousand dollars for those ones. JMO
