VCP membership question

Well after looking at VCP and what it involves I figured it would save me a lot of time in regards to finding cards I want in certain grades as well as past history without using the Ebay advanced feature or scrolling through the PWCC auction results - both which are good but takes time. For those that use VCP what features do you find the most helpful, and is there a big enough difference between the features of the gold membership to justify getting it versus the silver? Thank you in advance for the help and this could get dangerous for me now

I'd like to know if there's a difference between the memberships too.
Had a free account a few years ago and I loved VCP.
The only difference in site features between both member types is the ability to view links to past auctions/images, seller, buyer and bid count. These features will be available to Gold members only.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
<< <i>Thank you for the replies, and sounds as if the only difference is like you stated below - being able to see the actual images of the cards along with the prices realized portion. Anyone see this as a big enough deal to get gold? I think I will start with silver on a monthly basis and move up to gold if I feel I am missing anything. Thank you again for the help. >>
Personally, I think it makes a huge difference. When you see a discrepancy in price among the same grade, I find it helpful to check out the images to see what caused this discrepancy. Also, when an eBay scan is kind of iffy or it's a cell phone photo with glare or taken from an unflattering angle, if you do some research and match the cert # with past sales you can get a better look at the card.
Depending on the set you collect, you can get some of that information for free on cardtarget.com

It doesn't have all sets and I can't speak for its overall accuracy but sometimes I go over there when looking for a more common set. Not sure why, i just find it easier sometimes to look at multiple cards/grades based on their layout.

Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
<< <i>Agreed, if you can't see the card you only have half the story. It pays for itself quickly. >>
Go for the gold if you're considering the membership and you purchase a fair # of cards. The images are really helpful.
