I am not familiar with "collectorscarmarket". As I recall, NADA lists retail prices, which I presume means the price a dealer would charge or perhaps auction results with commission.
Any good magazine rack will have a copy of Old Cars Price Guide which I think is widely used, although values seem low for particular Packard models, especially Custom Supers, perhaps because they do not change hands often in the public eye.
Each guide has a pretty good description of their condition ratings.
And, just some friendly advice - if you haven't already, get the car up on a rack and check for rust, particularly in places where dirt accumulates, especially above the headlights at the fender splashers and behind the inboard sides of the rockers where the mounting brackets connect. Besides the major stuff, Make sure all the bells and whistles work, especially the OD, and a working rotary antenna is a plus.

Good Luck,
Mark
