While I look for hard to find type cards, if a card isn't in the SCD, I'm not willing to pay a fortune for it. There can be questions of whether it is a recently printed collector issue, a newly stamped back on an old card, some poster/notebook cutout that really shouldn't be worth much, or just some fake. Once it gets put in the SCD, it gives the issue more legitamacy and I'm more inclined to add it to my want list.

If the cards are in the SCD but are pretty rare, I don't put much weight on a card being uncataloged. Lots of N173 Old Judges, Leader Candy, Old Mill Cabinets, etc. listed in the SCD might be one-of-a-kind cards, and its known that the checklists are incomplete and new cards can be added anyday (especially when collectors reveal what they have).

If I found a new T206, E107, etc., then I can see the premium for an uncat card and would never let its existance be known until I sold it.
