Auction houses and ebay are not in the business of gathering sales info they are in the business of making items available for sale. VCP is in business to gather sales data...I agree.

My point is that AH and ebay do not have to make those sales data available to us. They do and we use it. Or maybe you don't? So if nobody ever showed an opening bid, or asking price or final sales price wouldn't the hobby be much different?

I rely heavily on sales data.

Fair points, I see it differently but if you ever want to know what I sold a card for just PM me and I'll tell you.
