Default Can anybody explain this?

Hey no sweat Will, your points are well taken and I can agree with most. The guides are just guides as you say. I consider them more acurate on cards that are not super rare. That card is not rare to me, it is more rare in top condition than in any other condition, but still not rare enough to deviate far from the guide in my opinion. It is also from a well known series that is heavily collected and has been for years so I do not believe the guide is that far off on this one. I agree that ebay is the best guide there is but it changes like the weather and if you get 2 bidders that really want something, than that piece can go sky high. The next time the same piece comes up, it may go for 3 times as less. We can argue til the cats come home on this one but I still say that raw, that card doesn't break 3 digits. So the fact that a person slabbed it a very high number, makes it worth several thousand more, just doesn't make any sense to me. My Best, dan.
