We find it almost laughable that any serious collector would not invest $100 a year to track graded card prices.

We have found VCP to be extremely valuable. As a resource they have proved their value to us 1000x fold.

The annual membership fee is extremely modest. We spend at least 40x their dues in sales tax.

If one is a serious collector of high grade baseball cards- VCP is the only reliable source.

If were running VCP, we might triple the price. Serious collectors would stay, and the nickel and dime folks who spend a few hundred dollars a month
on cards would go---but chances are they'll go any way.

Bobby, should also have a special once month 3 card look up for $19.95. That way a spot buyer can access the information and not have to worry about an annual fee.

What we don't understand about the hobby is that collectors and investors should use all the available tools to gain competitive advantage both as buyer and seller.

We are always in competition. We want to have all of the weapons available to take advantage of a situation. There is no more valuable weapon than real time market intelligence.

In our view if one is not willing to invest $10 or $15 a month to gain invaluable market intelligence,one can not be considered a serious collector of anything except excuses.
