    Bought from them a few times. Would buy from again. My one problem I had was buying a 1981 Rack box from them and there were packs with $1.00 stickers on them. Not from a case as advertised.

    See the search box?

    No, but seriously, put their name in the SC&MF form search and, yeah...

    edited to clarify: the "yeah" doesn't mean I agree or disagree if they're a good company. I have no opinion and it's "yeah" as in "so, um, yeah, anyway".

    Bought an 82 Donruss set from them once and it smelled very musty and was in terrible condition. They promptly refunded my money when I returned the item. I would say they are fine and will make every effort to rectify a problem.

    Appreciate today-

    They're not bad, but not one of my preferred sellers. If they're the only one that has something I want, I'm not afraid to purchase from them, but if I can find it elsewhere....

    I believe I bought a couple of graded cards at the WP show last year. He was pleasant to talk to and informative on what I was looking at.

    I have bought some Curt shilling stuff from them in the past.

    Plenty of places to buy from. They are on my list not to buy from.

    My experience is mixed, I have received both water damaged packs, as well as packs that were fine. I would consider buying cheaper stuff from them, but I wouldn't want to deal with potential issues from an expensive box coming in bad shape.

    I have had few experiences and I generally avoid them unless its a super deal or its just something hard to get. But mostly the stuff smells of a wet cellar. I also think they over grade their stuff by omitting details. This is probably due to the large volume they do and so it becomes mechanical work for whoever is employed to set up eBay stuff.

    They have one item I'd buy, but it's about 7x the price.

    BTW, it's a lot of 650 Curt Schilling cards.

    I have bought some raw non-sport sets from them. Most are ok as far as condition, but there have been some missing cards out of a few sets. They have either sent me the missings cards, or refunded my money. The last raw set was horrible! All the cards were stuck together and after trying to seperate them, the card was ruined. Its like the cards baked in the sun! I'm not going to bother shipping the set back for a refund because it was only $4.00! LOL Anyway, my two cents.

    Just bought four boxes of junk wax from them. I've never considered 1990 Upper Deck could smell musty but these boxes stunk. Also, there was a production glitch and all the cards were warped.

    1990 UD can warp? wow.

    How much does an ozonator cost anyway? someone should put one under Kruk's christmas tree.

    I've bought from them many times before, I was happy with what I have gotten so far, the last 1989 Donruss rack case I got netted 2 griffey's showing on top, plus 4 more pulled from and I think around 6 Randy J. cards...I just pulled the hammer on the 1990 topps cello case, going to leave sealed for now, but I also grabbed another 2 cases of 1990 Donruss...Always cheap fun to rip...will keep 1 sealed this time..last one was a blast!..

    Their product always smells like a mildew musty basement.

    They need a dehumidifier in their warehouse.

    Just bought a few graded cards from Kruk. Wish all ebay transactions were as easy.

    Thought I could get in before someone else said this.....too slow on the draw

    That being said, I have only bought from them a few times. They misshipped me the wrong item, they sent out the correct one after I notified them and then when I returned they sent me a $50 credit for a future purchase

    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    I've done local pickup there a few times. I don't think they have very good inventory control, but I didn't have problems with my transaction

    I was wondering if you could by at their place of business. Did not know if it is a store or warehouse??

    I've picked up an eBay auction from them. It's more a warehouse with office space. I think everything they sell is through eBay.

    I moved within a an hour and a half of them and reached out to them through an eBay message when I first moved here to see about coming up and doing some in person shopping. They said they were strictly and eBay store, but could do local pickups if I won anything from them through eBay.
