This is how I feel.
When I started this thread, I never imagined a VCP rep or owner (IDK)would be on here. Net 54 is awesome!
This board is great, but my original point still stands, especially for raw cards. They cannot track most sales that occur.
I only collect pure (raw) and have cracked out hundreds. I cracked out a 1952 Mathews two days ago for my permanent collection. That skews all of their data IMO, especially if I ever sell it.

Value of a specific collectible is determined by a buyer and seller at that moment. If I buy a 52 Topps Mantle at a garage sale for 50 cents, the value of that exact card is 50 cents because that’s what I paid in cash for it. If I sell that same card for 1 million dollars, then the value of that specific card is now 1 million dollars because someone paid me that amount in cash.
