the SMR
Posted By: warshawlaw
On this very subject. The SMR has always been a promotional device rather than an honest price guide. In its early days PSA went so far as to list non-existent cards in their best investments section and to boost their prices with the little "+" sign despite never baving graded the damned things! It was a total fraud. They still supply prices via the SWAG (Standard Wild Ass Guess) method because so many grade-card combos simply do not exist. Want to try an interesting experiment? Pick a post-war year and track sales of HOFers from a Topps or Bowman set via ebay for a while then compare the prices realized to the SMR prices. When I did it the average prices were ALL below SMR.
