Any help on this issue from COMC?

So looking at some cards on my port and other ports. I have been noticing this issue on quite a few cards:

These three examples came from 1972 Topps Nolan Ryan cards.

$90.00
Beta SRP: $62.50

$44.80
$99.25 (55% off)

$45.45
$100.45 (55% off)

So my confusion is how can you have three different SRP's for the same card. Doesn't make since to me. Anybody got a explanation on this?

Confused. They are all the same cards. Same year, same blah, blah blah!

Are they all the same condition? Those SRP numbers still don't really mean much. It takes a lot of sales of a card for it to stabilize into something realistic.

They are reality the same. But maybe bad example. But the same example exist on newer cards. Even 2017 cards. With no visual flaws there is a $3-$4 range if not more on some on the SRP.

It seems crazy to have several if not more SRP prices. At least Beckett picks a price and sticks with it.

I looked up the card you mention and it shows the same SRP when I click on the information box next to them.

It looks like you're confusing SRP with the price of each card - the two you mention are normally priced at $99.25 and $100.45 - they are on sale for the other prices.

They have decided the SRP isn't worth repairing. It just doesn't work, since it takes the average of the first 5 sales of the card and rarely updates over time to have a trailing indicator of the value change.
