Mastronet Auction

I think a great number of people would pay for information from a database that more accurately reflects the market. I agree that sometimes a price for an individual card is extreme and will not reflect all future transactions. But simply reporting that card x sold for this amount at this point in time is useful and collectors can assess the information as they choose. The more cards of a similar nature transact, the closer we would come to determining what they are really worth. I would pay for such a service and I think many others would too. Of course, how much would a subscription for a year cost? I have an auction in November and would be happy to have those prices put into a database. I can already tell you even before the auction starts that some prices will be astronomical, most will be as expected, and a few will be disappointing. But it will still reflect the market at that moment in time. It's a project that is long overdue, and I think it would be very well received.
