What's your take on PSA's Sports Market Report?

you can try CardTarget. Its one of my best option or use VCP (vintagecardprices)--subscribe

SMR is a vehicle for selling ad space. Worthless as a price guide.
VCP not only gives you realized prices but often specific scans, so you can gauge the quality of the card vs. price yourself.

Agreed that SMR is useless as a price guide. As an example, check the prices for 1914 Cracker Jack cards. The prices reflected in SMR are not even close. As previously mentioned, look at Cardtarget, check the various auction houses and the prices likely fall around those two sources. For scarce and those " one of a kind " items, there is a wealth of knowledge on the Net54 board. Reach out to the members and you will get the answers.

Good as a mag. As a priceguide, it's a rag.

I don't really like it as either a price guide or magazine (articles). Incredibly self-promoting with little, true hobby insight. It's whatever Joe Blow wants to print to CYA.

Like some others have already said, SMR doesn't always seem realistic with what I actually see cards being sold for.

I much prefer Card Target...
