Sellers using SMR prices to establish market price for non PSA graded cards???

[glynparson]

I disregard all printed guides I price what i feel is a fair price if they buy it great if not i have other stuff to sell and other buyers to sell cards. I understand the frustration of Toby but I try not to let it bother me when buying and just judge each card on what i think its worth and what the seller wants for it.

Does the SMR show what the price would be if you had to pay a buyers premium?

Not sure why SMR gets so much hate - It's a guide - a starting point if you will. PSA does a good job of keeping fairly regular updates -and it's FREE

Glyn you’re right. Ignore and move on.

The “hate” for me is the sellers trying to sell non Psa graded cards that are off center for SMR or record PSA reported sales. The sad part it is people are falling for this and grossly over paying for cards.

Moving on

Hey Toby
In the same vein as what you are saying, I dislike it when people quote me VCP for any card I have and am selling. That is because my cards have purple stickers!! Well, not really but they could have some other color of sticker. SMR on this puppy, in a 4.5 is about (there is no half grade pricing) $350. I paid almost 200% for this one....

Some of these sellers have a deep bag of tricks. Good thing you didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. 😊😊😊
