Couldn't be happier, and between tracking auctions and compiling my own card/price database, and using Cardtarget, I frankly can't imagine paying for the service

I must have been living under a rock, because this is the first that I remember hearing about it (Scott's post above).

Thanks for the info, guys!

Is this going to continue be a free service or do they plan on charging at some point? I'm just curious how they generate revenue? Advertisers?

Anyway, I just went to Card Target for the first time and it's pretty cool and it looks much better than VCP.

I bought a 1955 Topps SGC 84 Jackie Robinson on eBay last month and VCP failed to capture the sale. I know, its not pre-war, but the era of the card shouldn't matter - what's important is VCP is failing to capture sales right and left. Sure enough, Card Target shows it.

Here is a link to the eBay auction...

Card Target shows it and VCP does not.

I'm sure if Bobby reads this, he's going to make up some lame excuse just like last time I showed him that VCP was failing to capture sales - said it was a glitch or something, but instead of going back and correcting it, he chose to ignore it. That says a lot about their customer service IMO.

Remind me to cancel my VCP membership tomorrow.

You are correct that one listing is not in our system yet because it is a BIN. I just did some checking their sales against ours and from what I can see we have everyone of their sales except theyseems to be missing a few.

SGC 84

5/5/13 ebay 1esswap 405.01
3/7/13 ebay nc-vintage 435.00
5/5/13 ebay psagems1 411.00
7/25/12 SCP 483.60

Then for the fun of it I checked PSA 7 and
found the following missing from CT.

7/21/13 ebay klinger83 378.00
7/20/13 ebay ishm 360.55
3/6/13 ebay thepriceoftheirtoys 450.00
3/1/13 ebay scrbay 381.00
10/24/12 ebay stevenovella 391.00
7/11/12 ebay dslsport 319.00
4/5/12 ebay cardmrchnt6ta4 460.00
3/1812 ebay tcarman4 381.00
2/19/12 ebay end_timer 445.00
1/25/12 ebay hoopersarizona 400.00
1/22/12 ebay jmdvm 361.00
1/14/12 ebay jh9287 382.89
12/2/11 Bussineau 360.00

So please if you say we do not capture everything yes that is true for sure but we try our best and from the look of things we capture a hell of a lot more data then CT. Matter of a fact he was a member at VCP for almost 5 years before leaving us and started doing pricing on CT so I would imagine that a lot of his records where scrapped from us.

Think the facts speak for themselves. But I do admit you do get what you pay for and they are free so they are allowed to miss data points. Because we charge god forbid we miss a single sale. Again we work our asses off trying to give you everything and I am really sorry if a sale slips past us every once in awhile. Alert us and of course we will look into why it was missed and try to correct the problem so it does not happen again.

Aloha,

Bobby

Well if Joey is "reformed" you can't tell from his threads he starts...

Copied from another board January 2012:

"Can I get help with VCP on card X in a PSA 3?", or "Does this card look trimmed?"...etc. - always on a high profile card that he intends to buy for his collection, and they always end up for sale on the B/S/T or ebay a few days later.

Seems like the EXACT SAME M.O.

I havent sold anything on ebay for awhile or anything for that matter. And also whenever I am allowed to sell on here I can decide to sell them for whatever I want if someones willing to buy them. Why would the price I sell them for be any of your concern anyways??? I have 3 cards in my collection because I sold almost all my cards awhile ago so I can start focusing on cards I know im really going to keep and not make the same mistakes as before. And you said cards I "intend" to buy which I can tell you I dont buy every card I ask for info on. I may have done that in the past. And so you know I have 2 t202's and a derek jeter rc and some autographs in my collection that arent going anywhere

Well good luck then, and try not having your next thread start with "can I get .."

That is a year and a half ago. I/we was aware of those issues. Show me something in the last 3 months and I will be more interested. I say give the guy a chance. Also, I followed a lot of those threads and posts and never did I see Joey rip anyone off. There might have been some backing out of deals and squirming and weird stuff, but I never read where anyone got stolen from or ripped off.

T202s?- Why don't you start a thread on this board asking for information on them? That would be my first suggestion. Then we can go from there...
