i dont really see the value of leaving *asking* prices up. there is too much noise in that variable for it to be a real meaningful input in one's decision about purchasing a card in the future. one person's asking price can be wildly higher or lower relative to another - and it further varies by card type, condition, graded or not, and other card and transaction specific characteristics.

i think the asking price becomes valuable only when we know the sold price. that way we can gauge how initial prices differ from the *true* market value. by itself, the asking price provides little information.
