Deans Cards - something I never knew...

[Rich Klein]

*The OP and I collect obscure, uncataloged, and little known printing error/variation cards, and Deans Cards is a good source because they show good scans of the fronts and the backs"


So basically, both of you look for cards not readily known so you can re-sell for a nice profit on the secondary market.

I'll repeat what I said, if you know something is good, complete the purchase and move on. After all this, I don't think the original poster has one thing to complain about.

Rich, I have never seen either of these variation collectors "flip" any of their cards ....they simply collect them. See the OPs webiste (he recently shared this link in the post war forum) for details on his variation collection:

It hurts me to hear some posters say things like (paraphase) "you are crazy to buy from dean's". The original poster obviously buys from dean's so in essence you are criticizing him. Who are you to judge. It seems like there are mean people on this site.

This site has nothing on the Collectors Universe Forum, there are some cruel and vicious posters over there.

Thank you, but that is not very consoling.

1) if you are just doing this purchasing for collecting interests, I do apologize for saying it was for re-sale purposes

2) What I'm NOT going to back down on and this is the same for COMC, where I was doing the COMC Challenge for as part of Rich's Ramblings in 2013 is, if you did not complete the purchase then don't complain.

Look, and this is also true for COMC -- if someone buys the card you are working on then it will be removed from your cart if you leave it open

And

if there is a run on a specific card for any reason, whether it makes sense or not, then the seller has a right to adjust his prices upwards for any reason and this is true for Dean's, COMC or even for same seller on EBay. As I said, and I'm sure in today's world it can be adjusted even quicker, if a card starts selling and you have inventory triggers prices can go up or down.

I'm sorry the price changed on you, but that's part of any collectible business.

If I put out a Clayton Kershaw RC at $3 in January 2014 and I find a year later the book price is $30, I can raise my price now and if hehas a sore arm and his price collapses in 2015, I can put the card out for $3 again next year.

Obviously people are buying from Dean's...I just looked at his completed auctions and he sold exactly (as of a few minutes ago) 100 cards today with BINs.

I checked my eBay account and I have sold one card in the last two years or so. The point I was trying to make was I giving a reason as to why anyone would buy from the much maligned Dean's Cards. I have found many more of these cards on CheckOutMyCards, an awesome site which I believe you have something to do with.
