No disrespect intended. Perhaps Trae can enlighten us how the valuations on T206.org are based. I'm curious if it uses the same numbers as T206museum. And when it was last updated.

I've found that it seems to undervalue the higher grade cards (it puts a common PSA 6 at $125 when for the most part they're going for $150-200, or a PSA 7 for $250 when they're going northward of $350), and takes no account for many of the "uncommon" or "desirable" commons -- Doyle (NY), Magee portrait (non-error). I've found that no one pricing source is perfect for valuing cards, so in general you can't rely on just one. But between SMR, VCP, and the T206 calculators it gives a good sense of things. Of course, the more rare the item, then the less reliable the data.

Thanks,
