New 2008 SCD Came Out- Are Prices Accurate?
Posted By: Eric Brehm
The purpose of a price guide is to estimate the price at which an item would change hands between a buyer and a seller when both parties have reasonable knowledge of all the necessary facts, and neither is obligated to make the transaction, i.e. the fair market value. This estimate should be based on historical transactions completed for the same or similar items. I don't think it is particularly relevant whether those historical transactions were auctions in which several buyers competed with each other to arrive at the final price (e.g. eBay or auction house), or simple buy-sell transactions in which the buyer simply agreed to pay the asking price (e.g. eBay BIN), or ones in which the buyer negotiated a final price one-on-one with the seller (e.g. at a card show). This would be true of baseball cards as well as other commodities such as houses, securities, etc. |

New 2008 SCD Came Out- Are Prices Accurate?
Posted By: SCD Don
What's interesting about this whole discussion (yeah I've been following) is that a lot of the arguments mirror my internal dialogue as I went through pricing (auctions vs. dealer opinion vs. other sources of info) and in some cases...hey, when a rare B18 blanket comes up for sale once every 5 years, tell me if that's an accurate price if it sells at Sotheby's? eBay? Heritage? You get the point. |

Hi Don- I would be happy to give behind-the-scenes insight if I could, but this is the very first time I contributed pricing to SCD so I really don't know much about the process, other than the work I did. |

"True we have not include BIN's in our sales because IMO and other we feel it is not a true measure of what a card is worth." |

If you go by auction prices alone then you will always quoting the highest price. It's better to look at price as an average or a range. Most deals do not occur at the highest possible price. |

Like I said in a previous thread we are going to be tracking BIN sales in the near future. And our system does average out the price of each card based off the last 5 sales per grade and grader. |
