I recently had a lot of 11 Delongs i was bidding on that I dropped out of at $440...duplication of what I have, the cards I needed were weaker, etc. The lot went for $650 or so. I had listed my needs on the BST and the successful buyer emailed me minutes after the auction closed offering me the 6 I needed at $575 or so ... and telling me that was at VCP, so I was obviously getting a great deal. He was keeping the stronger condition cards in the lot...he eventually came down a little, but we never got anywhere close. My point is that obviously VCP would not factor in such a sell, which imo is somewhere between wholesale and retail.

I have to admit I price and buy mostly by feel these days. That can be a problem with rarer issues, but you see enough T206s, Goudeys and Delongs to where you get a pretty solid feel.
