I don't know how Beckett does it now, but for years, their monthly prices were done via reports of card show sales.
Even if you disagree with my first argument, the second point that deals are going on at card shows for %5-%20 less then the VCP prices listed and that those sales are not reflected has to be seen as a flaw in using VCP as a basis for non-auction sales.
Edited to add bolding for clarity.
