Deans Again

[Rich Klein]

Something to remember

Dean's and Levi *I don't know Yepdog as well as those two* usually put prices on items and grade accurately and ship prompt. I mean, you know what you are getting on every level so stop moaning.

Seriously wouldn't you rather pay 10 percent more and get the item you want with an almost perfect chance of getting the item prompty and well shipped than taking a chance

Levi sends me cards for review before payment. I correspond some with Deans about variants they don’t know about. Yepdog always has odd ball/scarce and variant Topps stuff

I am not at the level of Levi sending me cards before I pay. I have only made one decent sized purchase from him. He personally went out of his way to give me some of the best customer service I have ever had in the hobby.

I have only made a few purchases from Deans. I have bought some T210s from him. At that time I was way more than happy with the prices I paid.

I have nothing but great things to say about both.

No, I expect that from any seller. I like Levi a lot and always chat with him at the National. But, I don't think I will pay more for a card because of the dealer.

I never dealt with Dean, but Levi always paid very well to get the cards he wanted. I have no problem with him making a profit. Or anyone else.

I think that’s called running a good business. I shouldn’t have to pay more for that. It’s a pretty sad commentary when people come on here and defend Deans. Yes they can charge whatever they want, but to defend the absurdity of that pricing is odd.

Not any worse than those that post that every card they have is overpriced. The T210s I purchased from them was cheaper than any other place I could find them. Do they price cards higher than most, sure but at least they post a price and decent pictures. Buying their overpriced cards is as silly as putting a cheap set together one or a few cards at a time. I honestly don't get all the hate.

There are different segments of the trading card market. Just because he prices mass produced commons at ridiculous prices, doesn't mean he doesn't sometimes price much more limited pre-war cards at prices that are more in line with pricing expectations and sometimes qualify as buys.

Things are not all or nothing. I've probably bought less than 10 cards from Deans even when they were on COMC, but I probably turned a profit on 7 of them. As mentioned earlier, because of their scans, you can identify some limited recurring print defects in their inventory and get them for $2 when they would sell properly marketed for $100.

If you want bulk commons, sportlots is better suited for set builders, along with card show boxes and COMC.

Y'all stop being so daft.

I just bought a half dozen T210s and T209-2's from Deans too. I was going to buy five but buying one more card gave me the next level of their volume discounting and made the overall deal better. I just won a t209-2 on ebay a couple of hours ago and paid more for that card then I did for the ones I bought from Deans.

Lingering around Dean's site long enough and you get yourself a war story about how you managed to get a deal from Dean's when they're behind the actual market in pricing.

It oddly feels better than it should considering you're spending money.
