A local card shop will give a price and depending on the player a discount. Then there are several web sites and good grief look out! Prices all over the place, some guys just dumping to poor listings and there you go. You got you Rc for pennies. But what is it really worth? And that my friends is my question to you all.
A card is only worth what people are willing to pay. The guide is only a guide. Some demand is higher and you pay more and vice versa. I've seen cards with BV selling for way less and I've seen them sell for 300% more. Supply and demand, and eBay isn't the only barometer for what a card is 'worth' ... There are other factors involved.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
