What "Book" do you use to price raw cards?

I have a lot of raw cards from the 50's-70's that I am wanting to sell and was wondering what you use to determine a selling price? Graded cards are no problem, but I always have difficulty pricing raws.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

I tried to do that, but it is difficult to do for raw cards. I was hoping that there might be a reliable website that someone could recommend.

In January, I sold a few different raw 1950's lots on CU's BST board. Basically, I looked up completed sales for the cards, took the approximate average and then reduced the prices since I wouldn't have eBay fees (and requested PayPal gift for payment). All of the lots sold very quickly that way.

This may not help but over the years I've gotten fairly good at looking at a card and determining a grade based on PSA's criteria. I go one/half to one grade grade below my grade and look on VCP at where those cards have sold over the last 6mo- 1yr. It's obviously going to be a range but its a starting place to buy or sell raw cards. Its alot of fun when you can buy a raw near mint card for a exmt price. Of course it sucks when you send the card in and it comes back a fiver

Is VCP just for graded?

Exactly! I couldn't have said it better myself.

For NM 50's/60's stars I will check eBay and SMR to get a better idea.
