SMR Grading PSA 4

I do remember that in the late 90s to about 2001, the SMR had a column for values of PSA 4 graded cards. I never found out why this column was removed.

WOuldn't it be a good idea, especialy with escalating market values of cards, to reinstate this column?

What's the point? The SMR is useless and is only good for unscrupulous people looking to buy valuable cards very cheaply. If PSA ever bothers to accurately track prices, then it might be worthwhile. If they won't put any effort into providing accurate prices, why would they want to put any effort into creating this extra work?

MIKE - In essence, the SMR does have prices listed for lower graded cards.
There is a grid in the beginning of the pricing (In the Sept issue, its page 93)
that explains that a PSA-4 is valued at approximately 60-65% of the PSA-5 grade.
A PSA-3 at 65-75% of the PSA-4 grade and so on...jay

From memory, I believe pre-war issues do have a VG/EX or 4 column.
