A beater of this Johnny Unitas can be had for under $10.

That's just one data point, but SMR has the 9 at $5250, which says something right there.

I am not entirely certain what you are getting at. The SMR was updated on all four of these examples listed based on these recent results.

PSA is very conservative when it comes to pricing of low pop cards. All four have guide values that are no where close to these recent sales.

If your point is that you can throw out this result I would disagree as it is a Pop 4 and the only sale in the liner notes is from 2003 and it went for $4,025 back then.

I see the point is that guide values are usually pretty slow in reacting to the market (edit: in the high-end market in particular).
