Hi Jim,
I have always understood this to be true - some sales are not captured.
My response was to a poster who had incorrect information that VCP does not record BIN sales or one-bid auctions. When I recently checked pricing on a Ted Williams card over half the recorded sales results were indicated as "BIN". So many of these sales are captured.
(Personally I completely disregard BIN sales results unless they are in line with auction results. To me, they are no reflection of market value at all. If they are significantly higher than auction results my view is that the purchase is either out of impulse or desparation, or that the buyer has no idea about the market for these items. The only exception is if the item is quite rare and has not been offered for sale in some time...but that is fairly easy to figure out using VCP too.)
Cheers,
Blair
