Hello all,
Just wondering why are certain cards so slow to be updated in the guide? For example, MJs 1998-99 Topps Chrome Preview has been selling upwards of $100 on ebay for about a month and it still lists at $30 in the guide. Several of Lebron's 2nd year cards like base Topps ($50-100 ebay vs. $4) and base Fleer ($25-30 vs. $5). Or take for instance Lebron's 2004-05 Bowman and 2004-05 Bowman Chrome. The regular Bowman was adjusted to $40 while the Chrome remained at $20 in the guide. On ebay the regular Bowman sells for $20-40, while the Chrome $80-115.
I know ebay is not the only place where cards are sold. But it is a place nevertheless and sometime sit appears ebay is either not looked at or they wait a long time to ensure is not a short peak. Either way it makes it seem like the guide is way off base from reality.
What are your thoughts?
