VCP got a face lift
|
I am not seeing back scans? Maybe just an early glitch?
|
It won't open for me. I get an error message.
IPS Driver Error There appears to be an error with the database. You can try to refresh the page by clicking here |
Just tried via phone and I HATE it. Totally different, cannot figure out to how to navigate. I am tech slow, so it may take me some time, but so far I am very not happy and will not keep my subscription if I can’t figure it out
Figured it out a little bit more, and I think it will be fine once my dinosaur- ass gets use to a new interface. But I am having trouble getting back scans (can’t get them) |
I am getting an IPS driver error on my phone, whatever that means. I can pull up the site on a computer but it is taking a long time to load anything. I gave up already. Hopefully these are just minor issues that will be quickly taken care of. But as Rhotchkiss mentioned if I can't figure out the site there's no use paying for the service.
|
I am alternating between getting in and not. I've seen the same message Jesse has but sometimes it works. I assume it's just a transition thing. I do hope no changes have been made to available scans, resolution, etc.
|
i haven't been able to get in all day
been getting that message all day

Yes we launched the new site starting today and will take some time for the DNS propagation. This site rebuild has taken us over a year and we have worked very hard and given thought to everything imaginable. We realize that it is very hard for change, our old site was up for 12 years. It was out dated and we could not do anything with it the past 5 years in regards to improvements.
With this new site we can now do so much more and already have... Hope that you like our improvements and give it a chance and embrace the change. |
It is terrible---cant get prices---if it isn't broke, why fix it!!

I will give them a chance to work the bugs out. The new site was just launched today. Bobby perhaps it would help to explain the benefits of the new site vs the old. |

When searching T206s, obviously the backs make a difference. Seems like on the phone and laptop you have to "wait" for a "new screen" to populate to see the different combos? On the phone it doesn't always seem to happen. On the "view all", I really like that feature for set pricing, however...and there may not be a good answer for this, but... Example 1956 topps. The "view all" set price includes every possible combination of cards (white back, grey backs, the various team versions that you list and you don't actually list them all). It puts the "set price" probably double or more what it actually is. I really like the idea of being able to get a set price, but I think you've gotta try to do something to define what cards are actually included in each set. If "set" really ends up meaning "master set", it basically becomes meaningless. I didn't like the "change" as first, but as I'm searching more I'm coming around. Search results definitely seem to be coming faster than previous as well. |
Best for me to give you some links showing you.

Worked for me on my iPhone. Very different interface. But seems manageable
|
This software is designed to be used on all interfaces, Phones, Pads, Computers, etc...the old one could only be seen in a browser and was clunky.

Bobby, I bet in the end it will be a great product. Like Don, I was very happy and familiar with the old format. Maybe also like Don, I don’t do well with change, especially when it involves technology. But I will give it a chance and be patient, and I understand there will be some bugs to work; I just wish you did after Heritage ended!!
Forward! |
If anyone needs help they can always call
808-634-9588 But please keep in mind I do live in Hawaii so there might be a time difference |
Working ok for me, will just take a bit of getting used to it.
|
Bobby, one thing I'm not seeing. You used to be able to search by category, D cards, N cards, etc....not seeing that now?
|
The functionality for T206 backs has been bad for a couple weeks. It's really annoying to have to make 3-5 clicks to get to a back combo especially if it's piedmont/sweet cap. I really miss when the drop down would populate the list of backs and I could get there in 1 click.

Decide what area..Baseball, Basketball, etc.. Then Keyword, Player Name, Set Name, ACC# Just make sure that in the search it is set on ACC# and type in T206 and you will see everything perfectly like you would want. |
Hi Bobby,
How does it take for a price to hit your site? If there’s a significant lag can that be sped up?

There is a group of d bags that try to sell cards before the buy price hits your site. They quote the last reported sale as their data point. Would Leon be open to creating a list of hobby deplorables that use this tactic? |

Looks nice. Just need to get use to new format.
My one complaint is that the font colors are too light. I find it hard to read many of the pages. Should just stick to black. |

Hi Peter, I guess they are being sneaky or disingenuous in my opinion. Hypotheical . Example... the last 69 topps PSA 9 Pete Rose sold for 2100. 1000 higher than any previous sale. The next Psa 9 Pete Rose sells for 900. The buyer then shops the card using the 2100 data point which was most likely run up to create an artificial price point. A few friends of mine have fell for this. I know it’s up to people to know what the market is but the amount of price fixing that is occurring along with eve thing else is huge. I know an advanced collector like you Peter would not fall for this but I think it’s good to share information. Just an opinion |
On the page that shows Filter by Card # or Name, there is an example that shows multiple players. So, I assumed that you can search for multiple players. I tried searching for Mantle & Mays in the 1952 Topps set. I entered Mantle, Mays but received No matching records found.
Does this functionality work or am I doing something wrong? |

Bobby, I sold a card on eBay that is listed incorrectly on the site.
Is there a way to get it fixed? It was eBay item number:273877787415 1959 Sadaharu Oh PSA 6 GOLD Border Hoshi Gangu JCM 24 Japan Rookie Menko Card It should be listed here GOLD BORDER https://vintagecardprices.com/card/b...haru-Oh/442543 However it is listed here REGULAR BORDER https://vintagecardprices.com/card/b...haru-Oh/375689 Thanks, Robert |

Fixed now |

Will you be adding a larger image of the card?
Although the new zoom feature is a nice option, having a nice large image other than the smaller pic currently showing would be nice. You know, like it used to be :-) |
Quote:
Now I have to type T206 cobb, get all the results, then scroll down, go to page 2, then click the combo I want. I do a ton of queries, and it's not a trivial thing. |

Bobby, I am a big t206 guy. First thing I did on the new site (on my phone) was search t206 Cobb (Jay great minds....). A large list game up of the front variations (red, green, bat on etc), but I had no idea which of this red portrait links was for Lenox or told you or piedmont, without clicking on the link. I too really liked that I could search t206 Cobb and the first page would be all the Cobb variations in all the possible back combos.
Likely same with e92 (dockman, nadja, crofts cocoa and candy, blank, etc) |

In the future it would be nice NOT to change the site on Saturday! Could not use it at the show yesterday, and likely cost me some nice stuff. But today seems to work good.

Used it this morning to look for a card and automatically auctions that had the card listed popped up. Cool feature. Easy to navigate with my phone.

Bobby, even as a gold member images are small in size. I realize you've implemented a circular zoom feature by touching the image with the cursor which is great, but do you also plan on having larger images available such as what the old site offered?
|
Bobby: one thing that isn’t on the new site that I wish you could bring back is the number of cards that are in the “my collection” header. It used to be in there with “viewing all groups in collection “. Other than that I really like it.

So will look like: My Collection (278 Cards) |
Hi Bobby
Hi Bobby,
I hope all is well. Congrats on the new look site.. Something I have noticed being a M101-5 and m101-4 collector is #186 Zach Wheat in the -5 section is not listed correctly- Bobby Wallace cards are in the wheat sold comps section. And no 186 Bobby Wallace listed. I have noticed others players missing also.. referencing all the card numbers and variations may be helpful. The best source to see the true master set list is old cardboard .com combined master set list of m101-4s and m101-5s.. I would like to see wheat comps also who is the same number.. I noticed this on the old site also. Thank you, Connor |
Bobby-
Overall a nice upgrade, but honestly, the login and search field should be front and center of the home page, not an extra click away. My ancient hand hurt enough from clicking that I don’t need more clicks! Thanks, Eric |
I just searched 1958 Mays and the only result that I got was 1958 Yoo-Hoo matchbook Mantle. What do I need to do different?

In the search you choose Baseball and Keywords if you typed 1958 Mays then this would be your results. I see 9 different cards for Willie and no Mantle. |
It looks like VCP has a live chat feature to speak with a customer agent. I love this feature! I identify mis-sales or small errors all the time and to know someone corrects them in real time gives me more confidence in the data I am reviewing.

The search feature at the set level no longer works. If you type in a number, it pulls too many results (every card with that number in the price).
If you type in multiple numbers, nothing is pulled. Is this something on the list of getting fixed? I use the multiple search function most days. Thanks! |
How about addressing the recent posts on Blowout and CU?

I just fixed the set, still can not move sales data around yet. As soon as I get the green light for that then that can be adjusted. Still working on fixing a lot of things that really could not be tested until we moved servers and into the new software. |
To the person the asked for the Oh card to be moved. We had to move it back temporarily because the image did not go with it. Need to fix that first
and then we will move it to the correct listing. |

To prevent this from getting sidetracked, I wanted to highlight this question again. Thanks, |
I am only a member on this board and only post on this board. Here is where VCP started 12 years ago. Here is a place that I respect their opinion and ideas and value the feedback given.
I hope this answers your question Peter_Spaeth |
Bobby, you got caught redhanded posting under an alt on CU. I mean, come on... you literally identified yourself in the older posts. I know it's embarrassing but have a sense of humor about it.

On a frankly more confrontational note, obviously you are not responding to the question I myself asked, which is why you are still promoting PWCC, since you don't by your own statements need their revenue. |
Quote:
In regards to PWCC and advertising. At the beginning of each year they purchase X amount of days for our side panel blitz program and pay for the whole year in advance in order to get a better rate. They have been doing this with us for the past 6 or 7 years now. |
If I had a website I would not want an ad from a fraudster to be the first thing people saw when they opened it. Take down the ad and refund the balance of his payment, how hard would that be? Is he going to sue you?
