For some reason when I do an ebay search I see every single character, even on auctions where they use all 80 characters. It's been that way for a long time (for me anyway).
About 10 years ago I decided to track all the cards that sold on eBay for the sets I collect.
After printing out reams of paper and setting up an Excel program, I soon gave up because it was way too much work just too time consuming. So I'm completely happy with VCP and consider it a "must have" tool in this hobby. Don't know Bobby, but I'd be a subscriber no matter who's running it. Makes no difference to me.
As for Steve's (gameusedhoop) BIN prices on the 1962 Fleers, I thought they were completely in line or I wouldn't have grabbed 6 of them. Also, Steve was great to work with. I even bought some raw cards from him.
Just realized I have no point except that Steve is a top notch seller and VCP provides a great service.

Whether VCP is perfectly accurate is irrelevant IMO. It's a guide like many have said. It is IMO also a better guide than SMR.
I only joined last summer, and it has saved me a ton of money. Plus now that I know how to use the option of looking up several, 100, or even a whole set at a time, I love it even more.
Thanks for the service, I can't wait till it is able to capture all data for all years.
To me, it's the best product available. Beckett/SMR are worthless to me. I am seeing key "misses" in terms of what I collect. I collect Vintage (Mantle/Clemente) and don't care much about true value, for now. I also hoard 1983-1993 RC's and buy up as many as I can as a "hard asset" investment. I do care about the values, particularly rising value, of these cards. I get annoyed when a blowout auction, or large BIN, is missed by VCP. i.e., I have 10 '92 Fleer Update Piazza's and VCP has failed to capture the last $150 and a $175 BIN/Best Offer. With current Average sitting at $100, that's more than $500 in value.
Other than the misses, I am very dependent upon VCP. Thanks Bobby
