It depends on which you are referring to, there are multiple estimators now. If you arereferring to mine (mlbvintage.com) I am going to say yes, it's probably incorrect. I haven't the time or knowledge to maintain it to be accurate. A little birdy just swooped through my office and whispered into my ear that a new resource will be launching soon that should cover your needs most accurately.

First, let me say that I think the T206 value estimator is a useful tool. That said, Lundgren (Chicago) is one of a handful of subjects that almost always shows up in lower grade and, as a consequence, will always command a greater multiple than other subjects when seen in high grade. Lundgren (Chicago) thus exposes a general weakness of computer-based estimators that simply assign a "condition multiple" to a base price to achieve a fair market value. Scot
