I have not had a chance to listen to this yet...does the good DR. discuss how prices were originally decided upon in the early days of price guides????

Pete: That's a great question -- I'll forward that one to Jim

I'm not actually sure on how the final decisions were ultimately made, but price surveys were distributed to many regular show and mail order dealer/collectors in those days on an annual basis to obtain pricing information on whatever issues they had sales knowledge on. I always just assumed the good Dr. compiled that info as the basis for the early guides.

There will be a future origin episode on this topic. I'm just as curious as you all are on this one.
