No more BV on COMC

[IUjapander]

Doesn't really effect me because if I'm willing to spend $5 on a card I don't care if the BV is $1 or $100, I'm still willing to pay $5.

I really don't understand why they don't use their own data to make a price guide, or historical sales average, instead of continuing to partner with Beckett. Although calling it a partnership isn't accurate anymore, just a big sales ad to become a subscriber.

Again doesn't matter one way or the other to me, but seeing what others opinions are.

Book value has always been useless to me.

I'm most interested to see how this affects pricing & volume at the lower-end market, especially as that's where COMC really has a competitive advantage, and where, oddly, BV tends to be more relevant to buyers & sellers on the site.

Book value never meant squat before. I'd see cards with 4 dollar "book value" priced at 10 bucks. I dont think the sellers cared much either.

It still shows BV if you are logged into COMC. At least for me......

For sellers, we'll still have Beckett BV as a guide when we list our cards. And it has always been an open "hobby secret" that Check Out My cards was the place to go to recieve free Beckett pricing. And why should Beckett, who charges for their checklisting and pricing have their information given away for free. Think about all this on a buisness level and these changes make sense.
