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.
