Does it give a fair assessment?

Just curious.

For common cards and common backs in mid- to lower grades, it's in the right ballpark. For tougher backs and higher grades (EX on up), its prices are way too low, ridiculously low for the really rare backs and really high grades. It looks like they based that calculator on ratios that haven't been updated for at least five years, maybe 10.

Sorry Mr Asphaltman with my question. It isn't like the card is a common T206 green Cobb. The PSA pop report shows 5 or 6 graded total. If this was something which exchanged hands regularly & VCP showed some recent sale numbers then i can see where you are coming from.

I like the card and wanted to get an idea from those who are more familiar with the rarer backs to give their opinions. Don't think you need to make a federal case out of it.

Thanks David. I appreciate the info.
