“I don't write reviews often, but my experience today is deserving of one. I went to Pete's Coin and Currency to both sell and buy. I did my research and was prepared to have to haggle to get a fair price. The items I was selling were weighed and their offer was literally 99.6% of what I was hoping to receive. On the buy side, I was really impressed with the extremely minimal markup. What a pleasant surprise as a first-time customer here! It was such a smooth experience and it's no surprise that Pete's has such a loyal following. I will certainly be back, and wouldn't consider taking my business elsewhere.”
“I just recently got into football card collecting after years of collecting other sports memorabilia and I was very fortunate to have the honor of starting this new found hobby at Dean's Dugout. Dean and his wife were very welcoming, asked for my name and sold me my first high level football pack, a Panini Select: One set for almost $140 less than retail price. Every card shop i've been too in person or looked at online hasn't come close to the low price they sold me that box at. Dean asked me to come back and to let him know what I got from the pack and i'm going to be more than happy when the card ships to come in and show him myself. It was a redemption so hopefully it ships relatively soon and I can come back to show the man himself and buy some new 2024 packs. This ain't an ad and I don't do this often but it was a cool experience and a really good deal.”
“Nothing but the best experiences every time I go there. I live over an hour away and pass many other dealers to drive to this one. Staff is amazing and takes their time with you and answers questions. Highly recommend them.”
“I've been coming here for almost a decade. Originally as a board game collector but more recently as a Warhammer player. Excellent store for many different kinds of games and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Also a great spot for Magic the Gathering and other card games.
My go to gaming store for a long time!”
“Very well put together place, amazing and friendly staff. That is very informative. They don’t have what you want they will get it for you. I went in there with my kiddos, and they even gave them little sample packs for them to get into it! Hope it’s appropriate to mention an employee Sebastian there that made the experience great and easy. I will definitely be a returning customer ?”
“Baseline is my go to for any sport or non-sport card needs. Supplies as well. Scott and the rest of the team are all great guys. I can spend hours just looking and digging through value boxes. Love this place. Thanks again for another great experience.”
“I have literally spent thousands of dollars here and why you ask?It's because of this shops integrity and honestly.This is where I started my hobby in silver and gold and there has been no disappointment at all.As a matter of fact I made a friend.Dan is the owner of the shop and is really good people.”
“Nice store for all kinds of kids stuff in Lombard. Lots of Dr. Who and marvel figures and toys. Prices were decent.Not many customers even on a weekend.Staff were helpful to look and suggest items.”
“Please ignore any one star reviews on my business. They are NOT customers of mine. They are people going to another business, a nightclub/restaurant in a different plaza without adequate parking, filling up the parking spots in front of my business, and refusing to move their car when I've asked them.”
“Excellent selection of trains, accessories, track, and even toys for the kids. Train service and support was excellent and the guys are helpful and knowledgeable all around. I am a kid again. Thank you. Ceiling layout is complete, just 1 more tweak remains.”
“I love how they make military style legos vehicles, tanks, planes and mini figs. Very friendly and nice. Great service. Answered all my questions. The only bad part is the sets are expensive. I would go back again”

“Kyle gave a class on beer making to my wife and adult daughter. We brewed a 5-gallon batch of beer. Kyle went through the steps with explanations for each step. A wonderful day of learning. We sampled some delicious apple cider as well. We bought some books on beer (and wine) making. We will be back to purchase beer making equipment so my daughter and I can make BEER!!!”
“I had an excellent experience with Sarah in the frame shop. She reframed some funky mirrors that I picked up at a flea market a few years back. She took the time to take them apart so we could assess what needed to be done. She also preserved some backing that had a stamp from the original manufacturer. Sarah power! 10/10 will use again.”
“Fairytales—I love the store.. from the friendly staff to Wee Forest Folks.. Steiff.. Jellycats.. just about any gift u would need for a special occasion or treat yourself.. The store is wheelchair accessible which is nice since I have a daughter in a wheelchair.. If u have never been, now is the time to go or u can order on line.. Definitely a five star store and staff..Thank u , i will definitely be back..”
“I love this store. I always find what I came for and always has one of a kind things I'll find here. Great for home furnishings/ decor, bedroom decor, etc.”
“Store is laid out well. Customer service is challenging. I asked 2 different associates help with finding holiday season decorations. They both pointed ? and no help with getting me there.”
“Among the many philatelic (stamp) auction houses Rasdale is a standout.Their auction catalogues are worth the price of admission: lively and well written with just the right touch of humor. Even if you don't participatethey are a delight to read. I've successfully acquired many choice items fromthem. And if you are selling (far too common these days) you can rest assured their mid-western values and character will guide you painlessly.Whether you are perusing their extensive catalogue for elusive items for your collection, or selling dad's (or grandpa's) cherished stamp albums I cannot recommend them highly enough. PS-why don't you keep one of your father's albums for yourself? I think the kids would love pouring over it!”
“Good place, you have to search but you can find good deals
You find for all types of seasons, you find good prices, some days there are offers, it also has clearance areas, good materials so you can make your own gifts, your Christmas arrangements or all the decorations you like, you find basic materials and tools to do it yourself
Definitely a good place to visit”
“Great location in the Finley square mall.
The staff is helpful and polite.
The store has nice seasonal areas as well as staple goods.
Online ordering for pickup is seamless.”
“Very clean! I have been here a few times in the last week for a project and although stock choices for certain things seemed minimal - I'm assuming due to the sales they were running - I was able to find almost everything I needed.”
“Always a fun place to shop for holiday items as well as accessories for the home, crafts, garden, and more. Plus something is always on sale for 50% discount or less.”
“Best card shop around as far as im concerned. Also like that i can just chill there with friends playing card games. Plus really friendly employees as far as ive seen. Will come back for more one piece packs!”
“My son won a package for their pack wars event. It was one of the best nights that my son and I have shared together. The staff is amazing and we will be attending their events regularly. Great place and it’s earned our business.”
“The new location is fabulous! The store is so organized and they have great stuff at great prices. I was shopping for a bridal shower and found excellent quality decorations for good prices.”
“I called to ask about selling some coins. Gabe talked to me on the phone for 20 minutes. He gave me a good grounding in coins and their value. Nice of him to spend so much time with me. He was very helpful.”
