SMR's non-linear relationship to reality

[Rich Klein]

Mike:

You are a truly good person, but in this case I will disagree with a caveat.

There are many modern cards for which there is no real way to keep up with their values which when you see them at a show are 10 percent of less of the Beckett BV. When you finally drive down to my show with Mike and Kyle, you will see we all agree on that. I (we) still owe you a meal from like 2004.

However, in the field of graded card pricing, Beckett really does a very thorough job on pricing. Their market report for the upcoming graded card book is several thousand pages. I have no reason to doubt the pricing manager who I send several emails a week to when he apologizes for not responding because of having to work through that pricing tome.

And while I have not seen, nor do I want to go through any of that data, they do have access to ALL Ebay Data, the Beckett marketplace, all the auction houses big and small and other ways as well.
