Also bought a great Rocky Bridges card for $11.25:

It was actually a Stan Musial that was listed incorrectly. Follow the link to see the card. COMC bought it out of my inventory even thought it was listed as not for sale, and gave me store credit when I paid with Paypal (COMC store credit is worth about $.40 on the dollar). They could have at least made me an offer or contacted me before removing the card.

My experience in retail has always been if the store makes a mistake, it's on them. If it's priced wrong on the retail floor, there are no do-overs. I could have bought those cards on ebay for $50-75 for the pair, considering the poor condition. I can't understand COMC's actions and would love to see where in their terms of service this is allowed. I've spent $125 cash at COMC in the last two months.

The email help was worthless. Just went in circles. Either they can't say Dean's Cards is too big a customer to cross, or they didn't understand the issue. It's really soured me on the site. My favorite thing about COMC is treasure hunting. I've saved about 100 other mislisted Dean's Cards.
