Dean's Cards

[GasHouseGang]

Remember during the pandemic price run-up when people were buying Dean's cards because they were actually the cheapest on Ebay? For awhile Dean's failed to keep up with the nearly daily price increases and their prices suddenly were bargains.

When a seller’s prices before the pandemic were stupidly high, but since he hasn’t done a show in a couple of years, the old price stickers on his toploaders remain unchanged and now make the cards look like sweet bargains in today’s market.

See also: Deantrification - when the stupidly high prices of an eBayer seller seem a tiny bit more reasonable to some people, because everyone else’s wildly skyrocketing prices have lessened the gap.

Too expensive.

Correct; nearly every card available from Dean's you could buy in better condition and 1/3 the price by using COMC.com (logged in) or some other site.

Oh got it. Thank you for educating me on this. I did notice his prices seemed a bit high nicht I also saw that he does ALOT of business on eBay. Thank you again, I appreciate you all.
