SMR is also way low on many T207s, M116s, and pretty much all pre-war hockey (especially grades between 2-4).

IMO the SMR plays very little part in the actual prices paid for pre-war cards. Walking around the National in 2011 for several days and talking with many pre-war dealers and collectors, I don't recall a single person looking at or referring to the SMR (despite the fact that they gave a free copy to pretty much everyone in the room).

Cheers,
