Introducing: Near Complete Sets

Here at DeansCards.com we’re always trying to think up new, “unique” products. Over the course of the past 6-8 months we’ve spent a lot of time and efforts focusing on our complete set inventory. Our hard work has paid off, as we have nearly every vintage set in at least 2-3 different grades. However, Complete Sets are not for everyone- there is still a large group of individuals who like the challenge that comes with building their own sets. This is where our newest product comes into play: Near Complete Sets.

Depending on the year and the grade, our Near Complete Sets consist of 60%-80% of the cards you would get in a Complete set. This leaves collectors plenty of room to go in and individually purchase the last 100-300 cards. The best part about Near Complete Sets: the discount.

While most of our Complete Sets are priced at 20-30% off of our individual card prices, our Near Complete Sets are priced even lower. Our Near Complete Sets are priced so that sellers receive 35%-45% off of the individual card prices.

Fist Full of Stars Back From PSA

We just got back a nice batch of cards from PSA this week.  Mantle, Cobb, Mathewson, Aaron, Mays, Banks, Williams, Gehrig and some more Mantle.  None of the cards were super high grades or anything, just decent mid to low grade star cards from a recent collection we purchased.  The thing that always gets you though, is having 10 Mantles hit you at once.  All from the 50s, both Topps and Bowman.  The highest grade we received on any Mantle was a PSA 6 on a 1956 Topps. 

All Mantles aside, we had a handful of Hank Aarons, a Willie Mays, a Lou Gehrig, Ernie Banks, Christy Mathewson and one beat up Cobb.  The Cobb is a T206 with a Polar Bear back, and it looks like it was "loved" pretty hard over it's 100+ years on this earth, leaving us with it only being Authenticated.  The Gehrig card is pretty cool regardless of getting a PSA 1, simply because we don't see 1933 DeLong cards come through the door too often which makes it the only 1933 DeLong we currently have.

Well, we have a couple batches of cards still out with PSA and are adding higher level singles daily right now.  So keep checking back, you never know what we are going to get in.

Just Added: 1,200 1956 Topps Baseball Cards

In the past month we have added over 20,000 vintage cards to DeansCards.com.  About 1,200 of those added were 1956 Topps Baseball cards, including an EX/MT set break, at least one of every star card and hundreds more compiled from other collections we bought recently.

Before we added this lot of 1956 Topps Baseball, our inventory was sitting right around 2,000 cards.  With this addition that puts us up to about 1,366 unique singles, changing many of our cards from 0 quantity to 1.  This puts us at about 3,200 total quantity; a 60% increase to the selection of 1956 Topps Baseball Cards.

On a side note, we also recently made sure that our 1956 Topps cards were properly titled according to them being either a Gray Back or a White Back card to help the more detailed collector.  These 1956 Topps were just a small part of what we have been up to at DeansCards.com.  Make sure to check out our Recently Added Cards page to see all of our latest additions.

Just In: A Stack of 1967 Mickey Mantle Cards

While putting up a box of 1967 Topps Baseball Cards today, we hit card #150 and liked what we saw.  It is never a dull sight to see a stack of Mantles just hanging out in front of you.  There weren't any super high grades, and most of them were Very Good just due to some mild things like questionable corners or being slightly off center.  Just a decent stack of mid-grade Mantles.

# 150 Mickey Mantle (Excellent) Added - 1
# 150 Mickey Mantle (Very Good) Added - 5
# 150 Mickey Mantle (Good) Added - 1

As always, we are adding new inventory every single day.  Make sure to keep an eye on the Recently Added Cards page to stay up to date.
