Default Grading/condition question???

Posted By: Richard Lloyd

Now that raises another question... My collection is more regional food/PCL cards and I do collect some turn of the century cards.. But why is there such a BIG price difference between Krause and beckett!!! yes..I understand they are guides but for example 1955 Old HomeStead Franks.. VERY VERY hard cards to find...The Krause books them at 100 dollars and Beckett has them for 8 dollars and If I buy one from a Manos type then i pay 200+ ... I think some one is dead WRONG!! and its past the guidepoint..
so, whay is there such a huge difference in prices and this is just 1 of MANY examples.. The Beckett just falls VERY SHORT on the REAL market value of OLDER vontage regional/pcl cards..I have noticed that BECKETT values the NEW cards higher compared to the Krause!!! Hmmmm... very interesting hmmmmm...

Best
Richard
