What I meant, and I do not intend to start an argument, is that everyone loves to be an armchair appraiser. Market value is determined by the fella who writes the check. Hagerty is in business to make money and everything it does or refrains from doing is to make money.
The best way to get an idea of value is to use the search feature at Mecum, BJ & BAT. Look at the cars sold over the past 10 years and average them out. That's what people paid (less fees) and is a good approximation of value. It may take a couple hours, but it is a good education.
Private sales are even a better indication of value and with a higher likelihood of a better car, but hard to track.

Haggerty is driven by a different agenda and they don't write the checks.

The G coming up at the Quail in August is a convertible. The estimate is high but at this point, quibbling that it is not a 100-point car is irrelevant. I have had a G coupe for a long time. And I have a K convertible in nearly perfect condition. Keeping a G in concours condition is very time-consuming and expensive, especially considering that letter cars seem to be depreciating across the board as younger collectors have turned to other years and other types of cars. In that case and in my opinion the G coming up at the Quail is a really nice car.
