[QUOTE="snapsalot, post: 1418664, member: 37085"]Medora, while I usually agree whole heartedly with what you say on the forums this time my views quite differ from yours. A sheet does not dictate a items value. A item is worth what someone will pay for it. This point comes up most often in the truly rare and unique items that people collect, the items that are not seen very often for sale. For instance lets say I have a coin that various sheets and priceguides estimate its value at 1000 dollars. However theres not many out there and as far as I can tell not a single one has been up for sale in many years. Well in that kind of circumstance I might try to get 2000 for said coin, heck I may try and get 100000 for it if I felt its worth that to somebody.
