Talk:Ultra Rare Price Guide (Old)/@comment-158.132.204.78-20120914092938/@comment-5428123-20120920084146

Having an 'actual' value for cards would imply some way of objectively measuring its worh. At this point, the only price which would be truly objective would be the sales price from selling the card to the game. A price derived by committee would still be purely subjective as it would he based upon personal beliefs and judgements. While, I agree that market price doesn't always reflect a card's worth in relation to other cards, I think a pricing guide derived entirely by committee would serve little purpose other than being a thought experiment. In the end, supply and demand would still be the sole deciding factor in trades, regardless of what the community might define as reasonable. The point of this guide is to act as a general reflection of market forces so other players have a general idea of the degree of difficulty in obtaining certain cards.
