Market Price vs Guide Price

I am puzzled at why the Guide does not seem to adjust to what is actually happening in the marketplace. For example, the Golden Record Reprint of Amazing Spider-man #1 is routinely trading hands on EBAY at hundreds of dollars over guide value. For example, there are numerous sales of CGC 7.0 Graded books trading hands on EBAY for prices in the $350 to $450 range (one sold for $910) even though the guide says the issue is only worth $57. You couldn't begin to purchase one of those issues for $57, so shouldn't the guide be revised to reflect that? Someone who doesn't know what the market is paying for these books and instead is relying on the guide to set prices would really short change themselves. Could someone shed light on why the guide is apparently so undervalued on that issue. |

I am puzzled at why the Guide does not seem to adjust to what is actually happening in the marketplace for some comics. For example, the Golden Record Reprint of Amazing Spider-man #1 is routinely trading hands on EBAY at hundreds of dollars over guide value. Here is an example: There are numerous sales of ASM #1 GRR CGC 7.0 Graded books trading hands on EBAY for prices in the $350 to $450 range (one sold for $910 recently) even though the guide says the issue is only worth $57. I couldn't begin to purchase one of those issues for $57, so shouldn't the guide be revised to reflect that? Someone who doesn't know what the market is paying for these books and instead is relying on the guide to set prices would really short change themselves.
