What Part Does the SMR Play in Your Purchasing?

Bobby,

I don't think that's the way BobbyW meant it. When he said, "It (VCP) also doesn't take into account different variances within the same grade," I think he meant cards with qualifiers. At least that's the way I understood it.

In other words, a card with a qualifier is almost always going to sell for less money than a card without a qualifier. When you group cards with qualifiers with cards without qualifiers, it lowers the VCP average.

For example, look at this 1965 Yaz card.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-TOPPS-3...item4ab31b9b07

It sold for roughly 10% of VCP average ($378.69) of a regular PSA 9. Having that card with the qualifier grouped with the rest of the PSA 9s brings down the VCP average, does it not?.

Anyway, I think that's what BobbyW was referring to, but he can correct me if I am wrong. I don't think he was asking you to "rank each card." However, omitting cards with qualifiers (or listing them separately) would give a more accurate average price for a card.
