That would be littering and should not be condoned!
On a side note, I put an SMR in my dog's "accident" tray and he looked at me and said, "Wouldn't that be redundant?"
Prices are all over the board and typically are not an accurate reflection of the market. Additionally, the same could be said with regard to Beckett's pricing. Although, with regard to graded card pricing, I would suggest that Beckett's GCI is more consistently accurate than SMR. Any buyer or seller would be best served to do their homework in advance of buying or selling any card of significant value.
Accurate?? Hardly!!
50's Fb high grade ??? Not even close. Low pop commons?? Simply a joke when someone tries referencing SMR. You just have to move on when trading partners don't understand the influence of the population report.
I gladly pay PSA 9 prices and more for many PSA8s. Anybody have a 1955B Fb 137 Kyle Rote in 8?? $60?? 10X SMR won't buy that card. The whole set is riddled with similar scarcities and ridiculous SMR prices. Have some of the lower commons dipped below SMR?? A few, but in general SMR is still low on many 50s high grade cards.

I don't see the strategic reason for PSA to produce SMR, when the realized prices would 1) be more helpful, and 2) show collectors how much PSA grading adds value to cards.
I do not use SMR as a reference for any of my purchases.

cards seem to be pretty close. I generally get around SMR for properly graded PSA cards.
However overall it is lacking. It can be useful for certain cards.
