you are talking about cards that go over SMR, there are many many cards that go 50% below SMR....i like to see what cards have actually sold for...if a certain card just isnt out there for sale for a long time and no indication more will be on the market for some time and i see one available, supply and demand...I could gladly 'overpay' and create a new market high no matter what SMR says....plus there is no store called VCP or SMR that you can go buy a card from as an alternative if a seller doesnt want to sell it to you at their stated rpice.... anyway thats why i dont care what SMR is as a buyer...as a seller, like i said thats different
ill pay SMR for any 1952 topps high number psa 6 which i believe is at $210 that is centered decently....what no takers? but its SMR....... SMR doesnt take in account centering at all as well..
