SMR arrived - laugh for the month

Here is the problem with SMR.

Dealers love to throw it at you. Well SMR is this so I can only pay this. I JUST had that happen to me, when I know for a fact all of the stuff I was trying to sell goes for above SMR...

In addition the modern prices are even sadly off and it takes over a year to get new cards listed.

Lastly, although you get a general price trend and it would be hard to track trends there are certain cards that are stupidly low.

I will gladly pay $3500 for a M101-4/5 Joe Jackson in PSA 4, that is 1100 over SMR.

There are certain players and rare cards that the prices are so far off is pathetic. All the Black Sox, several tougher Cracker Jacks and E-90. It would not be hard to adjust a small section of the guide and is would also not be hard to track the top end cards and get a good idea of true value based on transactions.

As stated it just seems that PSA doesn't care so why should I care to use their products when they don't seem to care about the end user.
