I know, shocker, right? But I've been tracking blue refractor sales since release, and I really don't see where they get a lot of their information from.
I track blue refractors because base, refractors and X-fractors are all too inconsistent. Now Beckett doesn't see it this way, so when I looked at pricing for the base chromes I was shocked to see everything so low since I had not researched base cards.
The blue refractor pricing was slightly more accurate, still off. This is a list of only the listings that are comlpletely off, for which the Lo-Hi price range Beckett has can't be justified at all based on sale values. If it was a full list, it would be probably 30 cards longer.
I use 'common' as 'lowest value that should be listed'. My research rounded to the nearest dollar with each sale:
Eric Campbell - High sell value of $6. Given, no lower SV than $4, but there's no way he shouldn't be common.
Anthony Ferrara - With two sales of 11, he shouldn't be listed as common.
Markus Brisker - Not a lot of SV info to go on, but what there shows he's not common.
Richard Bleier - TWO $1 sales and a $2 sale. Should be common.
Jeremy Beckham - TWO $1 sales, TWO $3 sales. Should be common.
Logan Schafer - Sales of 8, 11, 14. Shouldn't be common.
Dennis Raben - Only two Blue ref sales, at 14 and 23. So where do they get $5-12 from?
Ryne White - I know some of ya'll are high on him, but sales don't show it. Should be common.
Devaris Strange-Gordon - Solid sales. Shouldn't be common.
Jesus Montero - Absolutely no excuse on this one, as there have been 12 sales. Listed at $5-12, the LOWEST sale is 18, avg of $22.80.
Matt LaPorta - Highest sale is 8. Listed $8-20. Huh?
Al the autos looked somewhat accurate, though admittedly I didn't reseach it fully. It's more fun to track the multitudes of base card.
