Don't you hate it?
 

When Dean's Cards lists his billion dollar inventory on OfferUp?

I especially love it when he clogs up 12 consecutive pages on Ebay.

I don't mind seeing some of the cards he has listed, he has an impressive inventory (mileage varies on the pricing).

This isn't specific to Dean's, but eBay should have a function that lets you exclude certain sellers from your search results. I'm not buying complete Goudey sets, I'm just looking to pick up a stray card here and there. Likewise there are some sellers who only sell garbage. I don't want my search clogged up with stuff I know I won't buy

Indeed, there are many times where I would like to isolate a seller in a search. I end up with search wildcards a mile long trying to filter out things I don’t want to see. It is a PITA many times over.

Probably why Dean's lists on Offerup. You can't weed those out. I personally have had enough with any listings from Dean's. Every single card/set is so far overpriced, it's a waste of my time.

All you need to do is put 1933 Goudey -(Dean's) and his cards won't show up in your search.

They have that feature; on the desktop, in the column on the left side, click More Filters, select Seller, Only show items from, set the filter to Exclude, type in Dean's username and hit Apply Filter.

Thank you!

Who cares? Keep scrolling.

Why do people have such a hard-on about Dean's anyway?

What are you, a billionaire with bottomless pockets and therefore high and mightily just don't care?

Most of us don't like paying double for any card, no matter which one or set it's from. Thus we're sick of his endless listings. Him, PWCC, yada yada yada.

Far from it.

High and mightily? Not at all. Don't care what they price it at? Yeah, I don't.

Double what exactly? Pay what you're comfortable paying.

Then don't pay attention to them and find one from someone else.

The endless listings are a more benign reason not to like him. What stands out to me is regularly offering stuff like '81 Topps baseball team sets (incomplete ones, no less) for like $20-$40 each. That's about $2 worth of cards, and he knows his market for that stuff is consumers who don't know any better.

It's purposely ripping people off and akin to being a snake oil salesman.

From the 'New Directory of Collectorisms' thread...

A person who, in the face of all common sense, always feels compelled to praise the well-known and heavily discussed eBay rip-off artists who laughably try to sell their cards for ten times as much as everyone else.

I'm with you - put in a filter to get rid of his stuff and move on. I don't care one bit what he sells (or tries to sell) stuff for.

Dean's has a real nice selection...excellent service..prices a bit high

What I find humorous are his "Almost Complete" set listings that are nowhere near complete. Here is an example of a typical listing like this that has a totally deceptive listing title:

Batter Up 1934-36 Batter-Up (R318) Almost Complete Master Set 5 - EX

https://www.ebay.com/itm/29411347062...wAAOSwBx5g8YPx

Are 110 cards out of 192 almost complete? I think this is an extreme example of "the cup is half full" wishful (as a seller this term should actually be identified as deceitful) thinking. 110 cards are listed in the description...why not in the title?

I understand that there is limited space in the title, but to identify this group as EX is also not very accurate, as 60 of the cards are lower than excellent, with 32 of these being identified as Vg, and 10 being Good or less. Perhaps 'Vg to Ex' would have been more reasonably appropriate?

And why is this grouping identified as a 'Master' Set? A master set grouping for Batter-Up cards would have examples of different tints for each card. In the Batter-Up set there are 6 tints for each card #1-40, 4 tints for each card #41-80, and 2 tints for each card #81-192. This listing does not have more than one tint for each card #, thus not a single card toward a master set.

There are countless reasons I am not a customer, and this is just a humorously annoying one.

IF one of these type sellers doesn't update their listings often, sometimes you can find a good deal or two. I have bought from Dean's and made some money before. (once LOL)
