Anyone deal with (555)?

purelyPSA

They've got some raw available. Just wondering what I might expect if it's labeled NM/MT.

From numerous transactions, I'd say they're about typical of raw card sellers on eBay.

If you cherry pick what they call NM/MT cards, you'll generally end up with NM cards.
If you cherry pick what they call NM cards, you'll generally end up with EXMT cards.

I continue to aquire cards from them from time to time, but only to fill my raw sets.

I'll echo the other guys:

Pretty solid ..... based on "ebay standards"

Great for filling out raw sets with NMish cards.

What Wolf said..........

LateBloomer

I'm not sure what happened because I thought they were reputable until I bought a 64 Topps Minoso card from them on eBay. When the card arrived it was way off center and not the card I saw in the scan. (The scan was removed from the listing near the end)

Unfortunately, I returned the card and asked for a refund.... No replies to my emails or phone calls and no refund.

Now I see their eBay account has been removed!

Does anyone know what happened to them? I see their web site is still active but I certainly wouldn't risk making a purchase!

Hit or miss with 555.

They stopped doing business on ebay and moved everything to their website. I got this email from them the other day.

Ditto what Wolfbear said only alittle worse in my dealings with them...look over their so-so scans very closely. I got so fed up that I won't even look at their auctions anymore. Returns were a hassle.

were they the ones cracking nicely centered psa 5's and selling as NM? Similar to card-collector-corner and greatlakesacutionhouse?

great_lakes_auction_house buys under the name crab-chucks. I haven't seen them with much for sale lately but I've seen other auctions that look eerily similar to them. Anyone have any info. on this?

I had pretty good luck with them a few times cherry picking some 70's football cards.
I then ran into the same problem as "LateBloomer" I recieved a 1976 Lynn Swann card that was not the one pictured in the auction.
To their credit I did return it and recieved full refund.

I have got some nice cards from them, but be aware of how they list a card condition. Sometimes they mix in NM/NM-M and NM-M.
Other than the Swann card I have no real complaints about previous cards I have gotten.

DANGEROUS...............numerous 55B Fb sold as Nm or better with notorious back paper wrinkles. It's happened to me more than once. I asked them to block me as a bidder.

This seller looks very similar to great lakes and they're also in Michigan.
