Owen;

The SCWPM values are the values that are given to them by contributors,
for 
better or worse.  I don't even bother to update my catalogues, I bought
mine 
in the mid 1990's and look at the prices as subjective.  Knowledge is 
ultimately the key in buying or selling.  I collect stuff that sells for 
much higher than catalogue, all the whilst something else sells for far 
less, because for example hoards being released etc. that have not had 
values re****ted into the SCWPM by the contributors.
