The interpolation is actually meant to plug in the gaps in the database. For
instance, set 760 does not have a MSRP. The calculated MSRP based on my
averages is around $12.50. I *KNOW* that the set is more valuable than that.
More research is required on that one. However, I'm pretty sure that the
$29.00 is pretty close to the MSRP for set 8835.

I may be off on some of the guessed prices, but it does give me a good idea
as to the value of my collection and whether or not it should be insured.
