Deans cards?graded for free by their expert?

[RobertGT]

I don't understand the defense of this seller either. It boils down to this:
-Horrible grading. Cards never undergraded, always overgraded. That's not an accident.
-Obscene prices, even on cards available by the hundreds elsewhere

It's a business model that only sustains itself by taking advantage of novices and the clueless. End of story.

To me that's an unethical business model. I refuse to give them business.

My Two cents -

Deans Cards - fair /honest dealer , great service, great inventory, a bit high priced

Only a bit?

I can buy this '52 Topps Dickey from Dean's for $1103.99...


The same card that Probstein sold for $601.02 back in May of this year...


There are 1000's of cards like this in their inventory that are priced 2X, 3X or more than what they're worth. I would say that is more than just a bit.

Deans was not always overpriced, they used to have good prices and free shipping, haven't bought from him in a while though.

I just had a terrible experience online with a dealer, had a card missing from my order and they ignored all of my emails, finally after writing a letter and threatening to do a charge back, I got a response. They lost a customer forever.
