I agree that that is often the case, David. More than once, a potential buyer has cited a SMR quote on a particular card. My reply is to ask them to bring me as many as they can find of that card and I'll buy them all at the SMR price.

I like Vcp because it is much better for 19 th century, where smr is so far off it is useless on old judge. I would pay anyone smr prices for a Psa 7 for old judges but smr never changes. For example I own the only Connie Mack OJ 7, and they lowered the price from 10k to 9k for no apparent reason. They use their listing below their chart to basically tell the latest prices but rarely update their list prices. Vcp is also good for frequently sold issues for all years.

anyone here know what SMR prices are based on? VCP is not a literal price guide (unlike beckett or SMR which provide one value with no uncertainty for each card), although the consumer can use it as one. All VCP is doing is giving you the distribution of actual sales prices of a card - based on that distribution, you make the assessment of what price you want to buy or sell a card (usually, the user takes the mean value over a given time period). I'm not entirely sure what SMR uses to judge the price of a card.
Personally, I dont use SMR. I use market value - and market value is based on realized prices - and i can obtain realized prices based on, amongst a number of sources, VCP's services. Were in a capitalist economy - the market, based on the tug and pull of demand and supply, determines the price...or, at least that's how it should theoretically work. |
