Andy,
First, let me say that you are lucky in the fact that you have a wife that desires to buy you cards as gifts. That's pretty awesome. I just got married, but I don't think my wife would ever buy me a card as a gift (at least she didn't do it in the 5 years we were dating). However, if she expressed that desire, I would give her a list of dealers that I would recommend, and probably a list of dealers to stay away from (and Dean's Cards would be on that second list).
I understood everything you said, but there are many, many other dealers that offer good customer service that are a lot more reasonable on their prices that you wife could shop from. I'm certainly not trying to get into your marital business. If you are okay with your wife shopping there for you, by all means continue. All I am saying is there are a lot more affordable options - not to mention the last few comments that were made about Dean's over grading their cards.
