Default I cannot imagine what you would use it for
and I throw away the magazine as soon as I see that one of my favorite players isn't featured within, and that usually takes 10 seconds to accomplish. The only reason it doesn't take 5 seconds is that the table of contents is so darn diffucult to locate!

I guess PSA didn't get the memo when people stopped using Beckett monthly as a guide...

Zero/Zilch/Nada. We actually have an SMR acronym for a Merchandising program for the company I work for and I just roll my eyes every time it is referenced because it reminds me negatively of my hobby

Is the SMR that Pretty Stupid Assesment tool that some people use to try and figure out what their card board is worth? To me a card that you collect is worth what you're willing to pay for it.

Ok, now I am really confused. Nearly everyone claims that SMR has no relevance on their purchasing decision. At the same time, nearly everyone claims that SMR pricing is flawed.

One would have to surmise that if you’re not using SMR as a point of reference in your purchasing decision, then there is no reason to look at the pricing data. If no one is looking at the pricing data, how does everyone know it’s flawed?

I think some people aren’t telling the truth.

You know it's flawed because the people that quote SMR when selling a card are always WAYYYYYYY off base. So, if they are indeed quoting the price from SMR, then even if you haven't read SMR, you know it is CACA.

Honestly this thread is pretty pointless...we are relying on people telling the truth about following a guide that some/most people have bashed quite a bit before this thread was created. I believe most people wouldn't admit it if they actually did, but if you count the people in this thread that said no, it's under 1% of the people that participate in discussions.

There's no doubt I use the SMR, but I know where it stands when it comes to realized prices. It seems like most of the people here use the VCP for their reference, so why would they use SMR?

Make a poll about this question and then you will probably see a more realistic number.
