Not to take this string off topic, but one comment/question on Dean's:
Yeah, if you're looking for a hard-to-find item, he will probably have it.
But just as an example, he lists a 1978 Topps baseball set in what he considers NM/MT for $4,510.
Will this or any of the hundreds of other similarly priced items he has ever actually sell?? If so, who is the buyer? Certainly no one who knows anything about the hobby and/or someone with more money than brains, of which there seem to be a few in the hobby these days? I don't mean to sound cruel but is there any other answer?
I looked through his team sets yesterday - team sets from 1970s topps in the hundreds, and from the the 1960s in the thousands, without the Mantles in the case of most Yankees "sets".
