I think Deans pricing is just loony, not a reflection of the price runs in the hobby. Deans has always added a multiplier. I don't know how it works for them, but it clearly does somehow. It's a bizarre business model to make work - charging multiples of what a card sells for elsewhere, of primarily common material, with no gain to the buyer over other reputable sellers.
