Jim- I agree that there is no question the higher end cards are valued almost solely on their pop reports. However, down the road there may be a greater knowledge among buyers that these numbers may not be accurate. It's unclear however whether that information might adversely affect their value. If a card has a low pop, mentioning that will get you the highest price for sure. In your example, if a common sells for more than a Mantle, then its the pop first, the grade second, and oddly, the player last.
