Vintage Card Deal Finder and Collection Value Tracker Tool

[timn1]

I look forward to trying this out, as I'm sure others do. And hopefully we'll manage to get our feedback to you a bit more politely than some... 🧐

What time frame are you using to figure out the average price? For the Comp Finder, you says its the 5 most recent sales for raw cards, the 3 most recent sales for graded cards. Is that the same data used for the Deal Finder?

Not trying to compete with VCP at all. The emphasis of my tool is a deal finder, not tracking prices. It’s just another small tool that’s an addition for users. Although I am a little confused as to the purpose of your reply?

Yes it is a tool that VCP has had since we started 20 years ago and it is in our
AFP tab...Available for Purchase

Here is a Ruth card and you can see it give the current asking or bid price and below that the VCP price average..you can see some are much higher and some lower. You want to find a deal then click and takes you right to that auction

Very Cool. Does it support active BIN listings on eBay or just auctions?

Yes it supports a limited area of BINs..we concentrate on getting the live Chinese style auctions in primarily.

Yes. That is correct. The deal finder uses those same criteria to compare active listings too. That is why at times when a user searches a more rare card (Ex. Goudey Ruth) it won’t populate any deals, because there aren’t enough recent sales of that card to compare the active listings too. I wanted to create the tool in a way that was as thorough as possible with as little outliers as I could.

Is there also an amount of time that the most recent sales have to have occurred in such as last 3 months (or some other time period)? If the last 3 or 5 sales were all a long time ago, it's harder to say if they are still really relevant for current pricing.

Yes. They must be within the past 90 days.

Good lord, I couldn’t agree with you more… best of luck and why, oh why, are some people on here such angry cranks? I just don’t get it.

Best of luck - I can tell you put a lot of effort and heart into this and I wish you well. I’ll take a close look for sure.

Thank you for those kind words. I indeed have put months of hard work and effort into creating this and have coded and adjusted it all myself. I had a vision in mind of something that I thought would help collectors save time and money, so I began building. I’m not looking to get rich off of this thing. I just wanted to make something to help vintage card folks out.

Maybe some people have dealt with this guy more than you have . . .

Thank you for that! I’ve got a pretty thick skin. Feedback is what helps me improve the tool, whether it be positive or negative. Thankfully, the vast majority so far has been positive. Looking forward to you trying it out!
