The cards you saw listed on ebay, did they sell for that price or is that just a listing ?
I see alot of nutty prices on ebay, but many times the cards are posted and reposted month after month and never sell.
Now with higher grade '52 Topps you may very well get above book.
With the SMR it's suppose to be an 'average' of the card sales.
There are many instances where I see cards sell for significantly higher than what the SMR is stating.
I've been reading the SMR since it's inception, and the guide is just that- a guide. I like the magazine for the card collection articles as they tend to have features on issues that are not common.
