Jim VBChris,
Whether or not VCP is "pricey" depends upon your perspective. If your card budget is $1000 this year, it might seem to be that way. If you spend anything more than that it starts getting easier. I can tell you that it has been well worth it to me for the last 2 years.
He also has a couple of different options to save money. You can pay monthly at either level of service or you can save up your questions/requests and then just join for the $3.99 price for a single day.
But if you're looking to buy graded cards there is nothing I know of that's better. Ebay's info seems to be on their site for about 2 weeks. Bobby has 3-4 years of pricing and, for the last year or so, scans of many of the cards that were actually sold.
Bobby Binder is a board member here and I'm sure would be glad to talk to you about any questions you might have.
