    I just tried searching for a t206 George Davis with a common back. All I see is different players with rare backs pop up.

    It takes so long to find the tobacco card I’m searching to find... I’m just using eBay completed sales or Pwcc auction archive now.

    T206 Cy Young search.... before I could find it in seconds...now there is so much clutter it’s like doing homework.

    With any change, it will take some getting used to, but so far I like the changes. If only switching to the new format could have waited until after the National?

  • addicted2ebay you are using the keyword search wrong you are suppose to enter "t206 young" and you get a much cleaner search.

    I was just trying Saturday to sign up again for a 1-day pass and it is only giving me an option to sign up for the monthly or yearly subscription. Does anyone know if they did away with the 1-day pass or is it just a glitch.

    You know, with all the malarkey going on in the hobby these days I really want to thank Bobby for this. I mean, I got a good, long, hearty laugh and I'll probably laugh about it a few more times at least.

    But this is the thought process of someone who thinks we're going to believe his back scan story to protect PWCC. Amazing.

    Ha, look at that. I'm not even done writing this post and I'm laughing at this again! Thanks again, Bobby! I think we all needed this.

    So true. I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt back then, but I guess he’s just another part of the problem.

    This thread is TRULY glorious....another phony alt outed! Without real ebay results, why does anyone need vcp? furthermore the same info is easily available on watchcount.com (with the same missing Best offer data).

    Searching glitches aside, the new website provides poorer scans that are more difficult to inspect. Resolution of card images is paramount, and VCP now provides images with reduced resolution than just last week. I've paid my gold membership for years now. I have no interest in keeping my membership if the scans provided are poorer quality and harder to see.

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist usually, but the way this has all played out in the last two months really stinks.

    So I just discovered that I now have to upgrade my membership in order to get a list view of the VCP average for all cards specified set in a particular grade. I used this feature constantly in the past.

    Why is ebay hiding the best offer data? That is not very pro-buyer or even seller. Having LESS info the market doesn't help anyone.

    The magnification feature on the new site is so worthless for viewing a card. It's as if it is intentionally bad.

    But that's totes cray-cray. Why would anyone intentionally make the card viewing ability worse? There's, like, no conceivable reasons.

    Weird. So a hashtag just automatically makes the font big and annoying. There's some irony here somewhere.

    I really, really hate the image view on the new VCP. I’ve been a member for years and like the ‘my collection’ feature. However, the image change has me so peeved I’m seriously considering terminating my membership.

    As others have said, the only conceivable explanation for this change and its timing is to protect the guilty.

    Edited to add - if enough of us terminate our membership, could it force him to restore the image tool to its old glory?

  • WalkinDudeWalkinDude Posts: 82 ✭✭✭

    I noticed this after using the site several times. After you click on the word “Image”, there is another link to the right called “open image”. If you click that, you will get the largest possible image, depending on the original resolution. Hope this helps.

    I unfortunately am cancelling my monthly subscription when it runs out this week. They took away the ability to view an entire set's VCP pricing in a certain grade unless you upgrade. I cannot imagine how upset I would be if I had just re-upped for the annual subscription and they did this. And of course, an email to them went unanswered. Very disappointing.

  • I will vouch for Bobby regarding his timeliness in answering emails and resolving problems. He has been awesome!
