Why do so many of the grades just have a "--" for the value? I am seeing this on a lot of American and Canadian notes

My Kelly, 6th Ed. has a population of 12 Small and he listed $1000 for a note in VF, so that offer was in the ball park. Only 96 sheets of ty 1 $20s were issued (6 notes per sheet).  A different database (T&P) would have the current population broken down by denomination and type 1 or 2.  I have a note on the Citizens NB of Albion, NY; I paid $625 for a Ty. 1 $10 in VF+; it's now in a PMG 30 holder.  Neat town name and a pop of only 5 small (in Kelly), but New York is a common state. It's in this set:  

It's a pain to get them graded.  Easier if you have a dealer close by that does a lot of business with PMG and would have it graded for you.  Economy tier is up to $1000 value, so you probably have to use the Standard tier which is up to $3000.  Cost is $25 vs. $45 and oh by the way, each submission has an additional $10 handling charge so you try to submit a bunch of notes at once to average out the shipping and handling fees.  I have 2 notes to submit using this tier and am waiting for next year's membership dues for a statement credit towards grading.

I'm guessing the FNB of Reserve was the best note from your father, but given the value, make sure there's nothing special about the other notes like a radar serial number.  I do believe your note was printed by the GPO, but given its rarity, I don't think it would add much to the value.

I have never heard of the GPO printing notes, do you have more info about that?

What would you put the grade at? I'd put it around 30 - 40. That being said, the best way to determine value is recent auctions of similar star notes in that grade range. They don't come up to often but from what I've seen I think you're looking at around $500.

I'd say about 30-35 and I think it's been ironed. I haven't seen them too commonly on ebay, either.

What would you guys figure this is worth? Normally it is a pretty straightforward note to grade, but it's challenging for me since it is a star note. I have heard from somewhere that in this series, a star would be worth 2-4x normal value, but I'd like some more specific info.
