About Dean’s Cards, Grading, Shipping, Policies, and Procedures

We are Dean’s Cards, the #1 seller of vintage sports cards on the internet. Dean’s Cards was founded in 2001, has 7 full-time employees and an inventory of over a million vintage cards. Our 5,000 square-foot office is located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Dean’s Cards specializes in complete sets of vintage sports and non-sports cards. Most collectors who are accustomed to the inconsistent grading found in the hobby are shocked by the tough grading standards of Dean's Cards. You will also find that the grades of the individual cards in our sets are very consistent and usually do not vary more than one grade higher or lower than the advertised average grade of the set. We either build or supplement most of our complete sets with our million card inventory, when possible. Our grading standards for cards are as tough (and often even more strict) than the PSA standards.

Dean’s Cards offers a 100% Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee on all purchases (Excluding Starter Sets) as long as the product is returned within 10 days of you receiving the product. Starter sets are the only item that we sell that can not be returned, because they are built from scratch and amount of labor involved.

Payment is due within 3 business days of purchase. You may pay with PayPal or Credit Card.  Items are usually shipped within one business day from the time payment is received. Residents of Ohio will have to pay an additional 6.25% to the state.

Dean's Cards Grading Standards

NEAR MINT/MINT (NRMT/MT)

This is our top grade. The card can have one very minor flaw. Corners are sharp to the naked eye, but may have a slight imperfection under intense scrutiny. At least 60/40 centering and tiny edge wear allowed. Less than 1% of vintage cards have this high of a grade. Most cards could have never earned a grade of Near Mint/Mint (even when just out of the pack with razor sharp corners) because of the centering requirements.

NEAR MINT (NRMT)

A MINT looking card with up to two very minor flaws. Centering must be 70/30 or better. The card must have the original gloss and original color borders. There can be a slight touch of one or two corners, subtle rough edges.

EXCELLENT/MINT (EX/MT)

The card can have 2 of the following flaws: 3 touched corners, a little edge wear, slight border discoloration, a few print spots, noticeable color or focus defects. The centering can be as bad as 80/20 on one side - if everything else is near perfect. Usually the centering is much better.

EXCELLENT (EX)

The card may have four fuzzy corners that show visible signs of wear, but the corners will not be rounded. May have semi-rough edges, some border discoloration, slight loss of gloss. May have minor discoloration of color as well as focus imperfections. May also have noticeable print spots. The centering can be as bad as 5/95 on just one side, if everything else is near perfect. Usually the centering is much better. An EX card can NOT have creases.

VERY GOOD (VG)

A card that has been handled, but not abused. Four worn corners, notching and dings are permitted, discoloration and toning are allowed. Slight paper loss on the reverse. Could have a light stain or light pen mark on the reverse. The card may have a few light creases.

GOOD (G)

A card that has been noticeably handled. It has rounded corners and defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, or multiple creases. A GOOD card is often used as a "filler" by collectors. It could contain a rip, tear, or light pen mark on the front or reverse of the card. Cards grade "GOOD" are the lowest grade that we usually carry - with the exception of a few Super Star Cards. These cards are very worn.

FAIR (F)

A card that has one of several major defects or shows extremely heavy wear. A Fair card may have a very deep crease, several completely rounded corners, a significant rip, or moderate paper loss on the front or back of the card. Fair cards may also have writing or pen marks on the front or back. DeansCards.com sells only Pre-War and star cards in Fair condition.

POOR (P)

A card that has one or more severe defects. Poor cards may have been altered by trimming or cutting or may have significant paper loss. Pen marks or writing can be on the front of the card. DeansCards.com sells only Pre-War and star cards in Poor condition.

Other Notes:

Off Center Cards reduce a card's rating by one to two grades depending on the severity of the mis-alignment.

Cards with writing on the Front can grade no better than GOOD.

Cards with writing on the Back of the Card will reduce the grade by at one to two levels depending on the severity of the writing and can grade no better than VERY GOOD.

Cards with Creases can grade no better than VERY GOOD.
