VCP is not as perfect as a price guide as some people think.2 examples i have encountered r i was trying to trade a guy a 6 for his 7 on a common card.He liked to trade by VCP so i told him to look them up.My 6 showed higher than his 7,needless to say the trade wasnt made.I was trying to buy a tough 55 Topps so the guy was telling me one had just sold for 495.00,so i get the VCP sure enough a BIN was sold at 495.00 but less than a week before 1 at an ebay auction had sold for 300.00.I just didnt think i needed to use a guys judgement that was too lazy to look around for a better deal than a BIN offer.With no intrinsic value cards r always going to be all over the place.Big clue to value is if ur wanting to sell something,it is worth what u can get out of it.
