Another member said it best, a card is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. BV is suppose to be an estimate of past average selling values. It is impossible for anyone to track all the sales for a month between LCS, ebay, card shows, swap meets, trade sites etc. There is also so many other factors that affect the selling prices on sites like date, auction format, pictures, description, feedback, and in shops and trade shows you have similar challenges. You also have local markets for home teams and players etc...
I usually go with a quick scan of ebay completed prices. It is probably the worlds largest card selling market and it gives me a quick snap shot of what I can buy or sell a card for. BV is rarely what a card will sell for unless in a card shop that uses BV to price their cards.
