Unpopular opinion on VCP an other "comp apps"

[UKCardGuy]

I've become a big fan of VCP. As others have said, it's a useful tool as an input to buying and selling decisions. It's great to compare past sales. It still needs people to use their judgment.

For example, if i compare 2 sales forna card and one swas a really old slab and another was just graded, I can make an adjustment accordingly.

Having that info is great. Where I've found it surprisingly useful is assessing scarce pre war cards. I've found some cards where there was something like 2 sales and the last one was 2011. That helps me understand how rare a card might be and that there really isn't a comp. So the seller can name their price.

Bobby, a couple of feature requests:
1. Search by serial number.
It would.be good to see how often a specific slab has been sold and at what price
2. Raw cards
I understand why you don't have these (eg the lack of standardization and people are inconsistent in their specification of condition), but it would be an incredible feature to be able to compare the price of a raw card vs it's graded equivalent. Perhaps you could rely on just a handful of raw providers (e.g. gregmorris cards) in the same way that you do with grading companies.
