I think comps are important and I base most of my buying and selling decisions on them. That said, they need to be real comps- temporally relevant (last 1-2 years), an auction sale, and the physical attribute of card that sold needs to be compared to the card at issue. Some dealers don’t like to acknowledge comps, or listen to them. That may keep us from agreeing in price/doing a deal. So be it. Plenty of people to buy from. But that is why I like auctions - the items are necessarily for sale and the market determines the value/comp.
