2011 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards

[tonyo]

I, too, received the big book and have had a great time perusing the pages.

Question regarding the valuations in the book.

What level of trust/respect does the price guide receive from the Net54 community?

I'm aware that Beckett is not necessarily endorsed by most net54ers as a source for pre-war pricing, but since it is convenient and lists most of the pre-war cards I collect, I have been using Beckett as a guideline for relative costs among cards within the same set.

I'd like to start using the standard catalog for the same purpose since it is so much more comprehensive, but I've noticed a few discrepancies.

For example:
T206 William O'Neil is priced as a common in the SCD book, but listed as 3 times the value of a common in Beckett.
T206 Buck Herzog Boston and Mike Donlin Seated is priced at twice the value of a common in SCD, but priced the same as a common in Beckett.


There are several more examples like that in t206 and in 33 Goudey, so I'm just wondering:

What do you all think of the valuations in the SCD Standard Catalog?


Thanks,

Tony
