Why is the price data always a year or more behind
Posted By: James Gallo
So we have a few "price guide" web sites and I have noticed that all the data is a year or more old. With most pre war sets this can only give you an idea of what a card might sell for today and it really doesn't provide a great reference. |

James -- I'm not sure what price guide web sites you are referring to. The only one I am familiar with, vintagecardprices.com (VCP), publishes eBay sales results practically instantaneously, and auction house results (REA, Mastro, etc.) within days at most after the auction ends. So if there is a sale of a particular card in one of those venues, you will see it on VCP essentially right away. Do I understand your question? |

Like mentioned above, VCP is very up to date. Just wondering, what site(s) are you looking at that has these outdated prices? |

The only other one I know of is cardpricer.com and it uses eBay data (and auction info) as well. Seems like both should be very up-to-date. |

On VCP when it is a eBay auction it updates to our site within minutes of the auction ending automatically. All other auctions we cover finalize and post the morning after the auction is completed. I am not positive about how the other price guide handles their updates but have heard they have to update prices manually and periodically publish new price structures for sets. Ted I am sorry if I am wrong on this and sure you will chime in and get the facts straight. |

Ok so an e-90-1 Cy Young PSA 4 ended on the 17th for $2050 with the BIN. It's not listed on either site. Is it because it was a BIN. |

i have the same issue. i collect more obscure issues.....what i do is look for a like player common/hofer, within the same set, that hopefully has a recent sale and then extrapolate. |

James - I thought VCP started listing BINs a few months ago; maybe that's a question for Bobby... |

Yes we started listing BIN's at the beginning of this year. Only if they are in a regular auction format and not from an eBay store. Reason being is there is over 100,000 items listed there and if entered all into our system in would be like dump day forever on the site. |

I assume it was sold out of a store. |
