Default Pricing

Ed, I understand your point about auction houses, but for many years we have been using Beckett as a price guide, even though Beckett is completely out of touch with reality. The pricing is provided by dealers input, and the dealers are trying to keep prices high.

We have the same issue with the SMR. It seems that SMR pricing is just a wild guess and their pricing does not reflect the prices that being paid at shows and on eBay.

At least VCP is using actual sales data for their pricing. Yes, some of it is incorrect, but my guess is that 95% of the sales data is right on the mark.
