The Valuation Board is now monitoring sales of these items, and updating prices about once a year.Unlike the more-complicated valuation process used for rares, the Valuation Board instead revised the entire formula and made it a simple averaging of sales. The total cost (sum of all sales) is divided by the total number of sales and this average is then multiplied by 1.35 to find the Near Mint price. The Near Mint price is then multiplied by the condition code for each grade (i.e. if the NM price is $10.00, VF=$9, FN=$7.5 ,etc.). Also, the Good condition equates to 40% of the Near Mint value (as opposed to the 45% for a Rare item), and Fair condition is 20% versus the 25% for Rares. A sample of at least 20 sales for each item was used, unless there were less than 20 sales in the recent past.Far more information than you wanted to know, but there you go!Hopefully, the remainder of the common items on the site will be tracked shortly, so we have 100 percent coverage. And again, these values will be updated on a roughly annual basis, since we don't expect much in the way of short-term swings.Foul

There's usually dozens of additions / corrections that don't make it to the What's New page. Many of those result in a yellow-highlighted "Updated" entry on the appropriate index; in the case of the Dungeon Geomorphs, since your information didn't affect the print run info, I decided not to refresh the "Updated" column.Foul
