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.

Has anyone ever tried selling cards to Deans? Just wondering if their buy prices are as strong as their sell prices.

He's in the ballpark on cards like this, at least.

$40 for a five cent common. An 80,000% markup isn't too bad eh.

And there are four of them available (to increase the chance that you can find one to get your money's worth, I imagine)

I have bought a few cards from Deans, because he has good front and back scans. Paying $6 for a $1 card that has a difficult but little known variation is fine for me, because it might take years to find one for cheaper. I can't imagine buying from him in any other scenario. It's not like they tend to have a lot of overpriced stuff, but cards that are rarely encountered. Topps/Bowman are the bulk of their absurdly priced inventory.

I've always known Dean's Cards prices are crazy, but my eyes bugged out looking through the transactions. $8.75 for a VG 1957 Topps semi-star? What?

Here's a graded 9 that sold most recently for $12.90.
I would assume Dean's must be an 11 or 12??
