Why would you just completely gloss over the pricing issue in your piece??

"You also have to ensure you partner with outlets that have good reputations for prompt shipping. Like other large dealers of vintage cards, Dean’s sometimes gets criticized for their pricing structure, but I’ve never heard a valid complaint about shipping issues."

Saying Dean's 'sometimes' gets criticized for their pricing has to be among the biggest understatements the world has ever heard. Their pricing is so over the top, laugh out loud ridiculous that it immediately chases countless people away from ever buying a single card from that sham of a business. Just the number of threads about them here on Net54 alone shows that they are so beyond the pale with their dumb pricing, that they are never going to take root and become a legitimate, trusted company. They're a joke.

I know as a writer you obviously can't go on the attack about their pricing, but to simply glide past it and virtually ignore this huge issue even exists with them is a complete disservice to your readers. The first--and probably only--thing anyone ever says about Dean's is that their pricing is outrageous times a billion!!!!!!!!!!!!
