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.
All they’d have to do is import that data into their database and reference it to do an update. If that’s what they’re using for basis of charging fees it’s pretty lazy not to update the SMR.
