Bobby BinderWe will be restructuring our membership and implementing a fee increase. There will be two VIP membership types:
Silver Membership 12.99 p/month 129.90 p/year
Gold Membership 17.99 p/month 179.90 p/year
The only difference in site features between both member types is the ability to view links to past auctions/images, seller, buyer and bid count. These features will be available to Gold members only.
Right now every VIP is in the GOLD membership which is where you will stay until your current term expires. You can take advantage of this offer by adding up to 5 years of membership at the current $99.99 a year rate. To do this log in at VCP and in the My VCP pull down is "Account" here there is a button to add a year.
At the launch of VCP two years ago, we had a total of 150,000 price records that only covered baseball up to the year 1959. Today we have over 1.5 million records and now covering baseball, basketball, football, hockey, boxing and non-sports up to the year 1989. Our cost of operating has increased considerably since our inception as we now have 3 servers to effectively run the website and we are not very far from having to do a major upgrade on our server package. We now have about 300,000 images of cards from past auction and adding about 35,000 new ones every month.
In the coming weeks you will notice a yellow alert icon near your username in your user navigation bar. You'll need to click it to select a member type you would like to be so when your term renews it will be charged the appropriate amount.
Thank you very much for your support and for solidifying VintageCardPrices.com as the authoritative sports card price guide.
