Default Psa smr

The sad thing is that I recently sent a 1914 CJ Branch Rickey for grade. It graded a PSA 2.5. According to SMR a PSA 2 was $800 and a PSA 3 was $1200 but they upcharged me for a value of $5500. My grade cost was $600.

So they don't even use SMR for their own valuation when determining an upcharge.

When I contacted PSA they say they use actual auction data to determine value.

I don't know why they dont just get rid of SMR all together.
