How can an insert from the mid 90s (one of the most overproduced decades) still have values that they do. I don't see how a 90's Marino is supposedly worth $50+ in today's market. I get that low #'d stuff, maybe. But not some non#'d random insert. I wish Beckett would make adjustments for this stuff. Or give me realistic book values (granted, not sure what the ingredients would be to give me a realistic book value). I.e. hot streak, record breaking, etc. etc. etc.

One of these again !!!!!!!
Ebay is a crap shot. I don't search it much anymore ( my guess you can still call it new. my car takes up much of my funds aside from the usual bills ). Did a search for a PC player ( NOT Rice btw ). And was annoyed I missed out on some nice cards for cheap.
What I mean by crap shot is. Like I just said. You have to have the people looking for that card... At the time you are selling it. Then how MANY people are looking for it at that exact time. So using EBAY as a guideline is like asking your doctor is you are going to die .....
Haven't we had enough of these bv VS sv ala ebay because thats the ONLY excuse people use. To me people looking for SV are prob. going to try and flip it in a trade....... THAT is my thoughts.
