VCP or SMR?

[Edwolf1963]

To me, VCP is like a CARFAX Report - not perfect, but has most of the reported information, gives some peace-of-mind and is a worthwhile barometer.

SMR is like those monthly tabloids at the supermarket checkouts that tell you things like Oprah secretly gave birth to an alien child.

What are people's thoughts on Beckett's Graded Card Investor magazine?

I use it, as it seems to be much more accurate than SMR.

You know that this will now be reported as "true."

VCP will go up and down as cards are sold.
SMR is good to carry around if no access to computer but prices dont vary the same way as cards are sold.

I say VCP, Cardminer, and card pricer combined. Card pricer tracks raw cards also.

Funny how many people say to use VCP when some that are selling quote SMR for prices because they are higher, or VCP when its higher.

We have been recording BIN sales for a long time now and now all since eBay did away with the stores.

VCP records the BIN prices from both fixed price ebay listings and auction format BIN listings?

Good question, Jeff. I didn't think that VCP included the eBay "fixed price" BIN sales either. Does it include that now too, Bobby? ...and if so, is that a recent change?
