Peter got a card from them once that was undergraded.

Phil bought a card he thought was fairly priced.

John's wife bought him some cards for Christmas, but she paid way too much for them.

As for me, I needed a $5 card for my set, and Dean's had one for $10. I was going to buy it anyway, but they wanted to add $5 for shipping. I asked them if they could put it in a PWE and charge me $1, and they said No.

Any card dealer will be a low baller - they can't pay market value or they will make no money.

Ha! Well put Al.

When I spoke to them about buying a 250 card post war lot a few years ago they said they only buy lots of 500 or more. Not sure if that's the case or if they didn't like the lot but they were nice about it. I'm sure if was a Cracker Jack lot they may have been more flexible.

That was way too funny...I'm done telling that story every time someone asks, and chuckled when I read that. I'm way to predictable...

To be fair, it does look like their pricing had come down to decent...not as many ridiculous listings as they used to have. Not that I would buy one...lol...

I purchased a non-sport card from them, I feel I did alright. Service + shipping was fine. They seem to be on the higher end of the price scale so I usually don’t bother with them.

Back scans and reliable service if you can find what you need or want at a price you are willing to pay. On a couple of large orders years ago prices were negotiated off eBay and off their site

I have looked for years, and maybe bought about 3 cards from him (50 Bowman FB to complete a set in Ex+), one of which was severely overgraded and was returned (no problem). With card prices having escalated, i had hoped his prices moved into fairness, but they are still way too high for almost everything…but he has inventory if you need something badly and if its cheap the overpay wont kill you. He does carry a lot of stuff, which is fairly unique these days, but must pay/have paid very little for it.

On the other hand, having likely not sold much due to his prices, he has had great returns on his card “investments”!

Never sold to Deans.

Bought one thing, once. Overpaid but I needed it. I recall no issues

Deans prices are so stupid high that I summarily skip any Deans listing if/when I search eBay. I recall his website prices being only a wee bit less worse than eBay, and still way too high to transact.

They of course are free to ask whatever prices they want

That was entertaining...

Dean's has a lot of neat stuff, but I usually pass right by it as fast as possible or try to filter them out because the prices are "optimistic".

I'm not sure if they take consignments, but if they do, they may be holding on to your stuff for a while because it's just going to sit there (in most cases) if "they" put a price tag on it.

In my case I have bought T210s form them for cheaper than I could find on eBay. I have never sold to them but have no problem buying from them.
