Deans cards

[JollyElm]

A picture is worth a thousand words...

I saw this thread and decided to do a random search for a card. All of my ebay searches have "-dean" in them, so I had to first eliminate that. Then I decided on "1972 Rod Carew PSA 7," and hit search to find these two cards at the very top of the page, one right after the other...

(And here's where the contrarians will chime in to say something like, "Well, Dean's card looks nicer for the grade." Whatever. But, you can see that the cards here are very similar to each other with that same tilted layout, and Dean-o's is hugging that left border.)


So, I said what the heck and did another search, this time for "1970 Hank Aaron PSA 6," and gee willikers, what did I find?...

(I won't even mention that the Dean's card is most definitely a trim job, as it appears to be the 'after' picture in a Weight Watchers ad. Look how much cardboard is missing from the left side. You can practically fit another card inside the holder. This probably accounts for the Deaner's 'lower than usual' price.)

These are two random searches off the top of my head, so I didn't even try to find egregious examples of his BS. If I did, my God the things I would see!!! It doesn't matter what card you search for, you will always get the exact same result. Hey, capitalism is great. You wanna pay his laughable prices? Go for it.
