Several records
Most listings.
Most listings all overpriced. Most listing at one time that will not sell.

I was going to snipe and/or hit BIN on all 246,990 lots before you outed them. Thanks a lot, Peter.

Bargains galore to be had, I did not want to keep the knowledge to myself.

I just wonder how many people they have creating listings and how long that took to upload.

Kind of scary. I'm trying to figure out where the dog ranks in terms of employee effectiveness.

It's almost hard to imagine listing that many items....

Whats harder to imagine is who pays his prices.
I need to chat with this guy about business model. Whatever he's doing it seems to be working...no matter how much complaining about his prices goes on. |

http://www.deanscards.com/about-us
Dean's Cards was founded in 2001 by Dean Hanley, a fellow card collector, and has become the leading online seller of sports cards and magazines. DeansCards.com buys hundreds of sports card collections each year, and has over one million cards online. Our 5,000 sq foot office is located in Cincinnati, Ohio and we have ten full-time employees. Our goal at Dean's Cards is to provide our customers with a simple, cost effective and enjoyable way to build their collections. We have the largest online selection of baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and non-sports cards ranging in years from 1887 to the present. We also offer thousands of issues of Sports Illustrated, Sport Magazine, Baseball and Football Digest as well as vintage team yearbooks and media guides. We are told by customers, that our Customer Service is the best in the hobby. Most orders ship within one business day and we are the only store in the hobby (that we are aware of) to be validated as a Google Trusted Store. We are NOT a physical retail store that people can visit, so we were able to focus our efforts on designing and stocking a website that provides the best collecting experience possible. If you will give us the opportunity to earn your business, you will be glad that you did. We guarantee it. We love this hobby and work very hard to insure that orders are shipped 100% correct, mailed within one business day and that the items sent are conservatively graded. If you are not happy for any reason, you may return your order for a full refund. |

I sold a t206 Eddie Collins two years ago on eBay and the buyer turned out to be Dean's Cards. I think I got about $75 for it which I was thrilled with because it was a SGC 10 with paper loss. They immediately listed it for $180. It is still listed two+ years later for $180.
But if it is only .05 a month over 24 months that has only cost $1.20 to keep it up. Someday, someone will buy it. |

PLUS the cost of money..money isn't free..people often forget that. Money tied up in inventory is money that can't be invested elsewhere. He could have made 15-20% on that $75 over the past two years. If you have a lot of money tied up in sitting inventory, it really adds up.

Deans
When I have bought from them the service has been very good. And since I like to collect variant cards to go with my sets, the fact they show both the front and backs of a lot of cards is a plus. If the price is too high I just pass. No big deal

When I decided after 20+ years to finish my Hank Aaron collection, I didn't have an eBay acct, didn't care about prices (!), wasn't expecting to make it to a show, didn't know about N54, and wanted to get everything in one place.
It didn't take long for Dean's to come up in my search, and I was able to get everything I needed. In retrospect, I now know I could have spent about 25-50% less, depending how patient I was willing to be. Still, no regrets. The purchase made me very happy at the time. Nowadays, I'm a bit more connected. Still, I can believe there are a ton of guys like the old me...not die-hards but nostalgic for some old cardboard. Evidently!

if it's Cecil, I admire your avatar
and dean sells raw vg T206 commons for $100 or more and usually has some ridiculous autobiography attached to his listings. An ego almost the size of the murderer "Dr." Palmer
