Matt"especially since there are still tons of ungraded cards they don't take into account...."
that is exactly the question in my post - can we assume that the ungraded cards are equal over all issues?
For example, if one card has a population of 20 and another a population of 200, certainly those are not accurate numbers, but would it be safe to assume that whatever percentage of cards that are ungraded/regraded/cracked is the same for both cards - i.e. if we say the numbers are off by 100%, then we say that there are probably around 40 of the first card and 400 of the other? So in effect, the inaccuracies in the population reports are canceled out when comparing with other issues?
I agree pop reports are inaccurate, I just don't think they have nothing to add to our discussion.
