So how often are the Acaeum rares prices updated?

I notice that there were a few updates in Jan but nothing since.
Given the spate of purchases at GenCon and etc.*  is there a schedule to the updates -- or just now and then?

Or is there a system for providing updated info on auctions?

It is definitely about time we did some updates .... I think the valuation team has been a bit distracted recently (myself included).  :roll:

I only mention as I noted that my dragon #1 auction for a VF+/NM- copy is going for more than the NM price on acaeum.

Edit: and all the recent GenCon rare purchases.

We are in a bit of a lull at the present time.  Several of the valuation board members resigned due to other responsibilities.

Those remaining members are still compiling information but it will not cover all of the items when the next update is performed.

We will be looking to add a few additional members hopefully sometime yet this year.

A partial update was performed in March.  We will probably go to one or two updates per year moving forward.

The Gencon auction items will be included in the next update as well as a large number of the rares that have been sold on eBay since February.

Real prices will always tend to "lead" the Acaeum valutions due to the method of collection -- they're based on historical averages.  Assuming prices of a given item are increasing, this results in the valuations appear low in comparison.  This is normal.
