??? about VintageCardPrices.com and other services

Hi all,
I was looking at vintagecardprices.com and it looks pretty cool. How accurate do you think it is in giving true value to your collection? I read on here somewhere that there are other services like this one but didn't find anything else. What else is there and which do you prefer? I would appreciate any thoughts on the topic.
Thanks
Darren

There is another service out there, but I've been very happy with vcp. Of the people I know (about 50 or so) that use a pricing service it's 100% vcp.
The only bad things I've heard about it are from a few dealers- they are concerned that it's much harder to flip cards for profit when such an accurate price guide exists. This seems to be an endorsement to me.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
Their service is excellent also. I had an issue with Comcast blocking VCPs ISP thereby preventing the watch list e-mails from delivery. The VCP guys tried several times to get Comcast to work with them. I wound up opening a gmail account just for the VCP e-mails, but kudos to them for trying.
The good about VCP:
I have received an e-mail answer usually within 24 hours. If you see a problem on an auction, they have a link on that page to let them know of a possible error. Sometimes they get years mixed in their data base, but they fix it very quickly.
They seem to have added sooo much the past 6 months. downloads and printouts. Now showing an average of the last 5 completed auctions.
The bad:
Your collection value is based on the last sale. So if the sale is abnormal, then you have that value until next sale.
If you sell and buy a lot of pre 1990s stuff, this may save you some pricing miscalculations.
