No point getting all bunged up just because some jackhole is offering a card way above market. Just don't buy it and another will come along. Unless it is rare, in which case the seller can pretty much ask whatever he wants and hold out for someone who wants it bad enough to pay it.

I realize this topic has already been exhausted, but I am still somewhat amazed by Dean's Cards' business model.
I bought a '52 Bowman Minoso Rookie PSA 5 with cream color border in October for $275 https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m59903051311/ (Yes I bought in on Mercari of all places), but thought the card was over-graded and ended up buying a nicer one with the white border. So I posted the $275 PSA 5 for $345 on ebay just to cover my costs and it was purchased by ebay user "stuckonthird" within hours, and when I went to mail it, the name was Dean Hanley of Dean's Card in Cincinnati Ohio. I checked out his website, and the $275 card has been reborn as a $970 card. I guess its like selling mattresses--the markup is so high that you only need to sell a few a week to make ends meet. https://www.deanscards.com/Minnie-Minoso-Baseball-Cards Anyway, he was considerate enough to leave me positive feedback....

Get ready for them to start posting here...

It's actually such a bad 5 that I was too ashamed to try to sell on the BST here. But it was a good fit for ebay I guess.
