Not to get too technical but the initial 4 cards you have listed, look hard at how they were listed and how VCP parses them. From what I have seen in the past with auctions of mine that dont make it into VCP, a lot of times I had issues with my title.

I can see on your E90 Lajoie its condition is listed as SGC 3, I would bet this might have been kicked out because the program does not know if its really a 40 or a 30?. Also it does not list a E90-1, E90-2 or E90-3 so it didnt know the proper set. On the T206 McGraw you purchased the variation is listed as "CAP PORTRAIT"- PSA list them as - "Portrait No Cap" or "Portrait With Cap" no way to tell from your description which it is so I bet the software rightly rejected because of this. It looks like the T-206 Keeler was listed as BATTING and the listing needed to be "With Bat".

These might seem like little things but they are big issues for a program trying to understand a data feed. I am sure Bobby can tell you more of how this is handled but I would bet a large number of the auctions missing have these issues. Just look at how many auctions sometimes list the card as an SGC 50/ PSA 4 to try and market to those who collect both even thou the card is only an SGC 50.

I also think that some kind of time limit on relisted them is fair and should happen as someone could in theory photoshop the paypal printout and say what they want for price and email it in when they want to sell and accept what you are saying as fact. VCP can no longer look it up in ebay to verify it.
