“First time at this location. I was there to get a balloons I ordered. And had questions regarding placing the order for them to be blown up and ready for to pick up on a certain date. She helped me decide how to place the balloons and even deflated balloons I accidentally requested to be blown up. And added them to the other ones.”

“Distinctive Coins is the Best Place to go to for all your silver, gold needs. Whether it's Buy or Sell. Definitely consider coming here. Chris was awesome. He was friendly Knowledgeable. Answered all my questions and even taught me a few things. I would give 10 Stars if Possible!”
“When I called to ask a question they answered the phone and were cordial and polite. Received a Viewliner in the mail from them, It was packed exceptionally well and came in good time. They were even nice enough to include a ruler since I was a first time customer. Would definitely consider purchasing from them again in the future.!”
“My kids absolutely love this store. We have come here for pokemon cards a few times. The prices are fair and the owner is incredibly nice. Bonus points for sponsoring my kids' little league teams.”
“Ultimate Autographs is the place to be. They are amazing. It’s fun, great conversation, definitely worth the price ( and it varies for anyone that wants to try it out) they walk you through the process and are patient with new comers, just an outstanding outfit. I recommend to any sport hobbyists to get on and check them out! You won’t be disappointed.”
“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.”
“So many different, new (and some old) games to choose from for all ages. Employee Kyle was so helpful pointing out popular, or his favorite, games. He even taught us how to play a few.
Open one Saturday a month til midnight. You can bring in your own games or use the complementary games available in the store.
Thank you for all the future fun we will enjoy with our family and friends.”

“We loved coming here! Such a nice store with tons of unique options. Excellent customer service. Cody was so very nice to me and my kids. He even let us take one of the display boxes with us since my children thought it was cool. 100% recommend shopping here!”
“Friends and I were recently introduced into the hobby by Sebastian and Jackson (iconic voices btw), and were welcoming along our journey. They were alert and active, helping us with any problem we had and guided our hand through starting this complex yet unchallenged hobby. The store is also fairly cozy and located in a great neighborhood with plenty to do.”
“Excellent sale workers were putting stock out and when I ask them about items they just pointed me towards the front and I still couldn't find the item the cashier was very friendly.”
“Great place to visit especially for train enthusiasts and modelers, friendly people and very helpful too, I’ve gotten a few models from there and brought in some for repair”
“Had a wonderful time with my 4 year old, car-loving boy! The owner was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic.
I cannot wait to visit and experience again, this time with my Dad, who grew up playing with these!!!!!
Thank you, Mike !”
“The owner, I believe her name is Chris, was delightful. I haven't been to a game store in a long time and there was a vast selection of table games to choose from. I love the fact that it was not video games but board games and card games. We spent almost an hour in this store. It was easy to negotiate for someone who is disabled and they have game days and nights every week. You can look at the schedule as you walk in the door and that was very nice. While the actual game times and dates are held in another building north of this location, it appeared that it could be a lot of fun to go there and we plan on doing so. We walked in expecting to get one or two games, we walked out with six and spent quite more than we expected. Expected. But the games were great and we have enjoyed them over the last 2 weeks. An outstanding experience.”
“My buddy invited me to the launch of a new deck - it’s the second time I’ve been here. Let me say what a great experience- the owner/guy running the show is awesome and I was really impressed by the selection and incredible experience he provides.”
“Very transparent process with a great price! Highly recommended place to take your precious metals. Also has wide selection of cool coins - various silver rounds as well as premium ones, plus graded coins and old American money. Kevin was very friendly and had some good tunes playing. Great experience!”
“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.”
“When I was a kid I sometimes got dropped off at my aunt’s house in LaGrange, and my little cousin and I would skateboard here bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, dying to get a glimpse at some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in the display case or buy a few packs or cards of our own. Yes Steven has that very dry sense of humor and droll attitude that some people might not like, but that’s PART of Steven’s experience! He’s never mean. We LOVED going and talking to him, sometimes he would get a little aggravated with us and we would turn to each other and giggle, and he would talk to us about the card game and help us understand things. If I could go back in time and relive those core memories I would without a second guess, times were much simpler when we skateboarded down the street to Steven’s. He also taught us a lot of invaluable lessons! One I still use to this day! (Read the fine print on eBay listings, they’ll send you an empty box if they can!)”
“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!!!”

“Very amazing service, the workers were really nice and made me talk even though I can be really shy. I got 3 comics and I really loved them. Definitely recommend”
“The franchise has a verity of terms to help you achieve the best result getting or buying items. They have a vast variety of skilled people considering your best out come to various stamps and other opportunities. You must be able to understand and speak with a open personal understanding to your needs and there explanation to service approaches.”
“Everyone seemed nice and the store was clean. Items were getting restocked and refilled so it wasnt as full as I've seen. But still found great deals and all kinds of other good stuff.”
“Finding someone to help me get some fabric cut took a minute, but thereafter the service was excellent. I wonder why stock is not replenished when final cut from bolt is made.”
“Joe, the owner of LC&S is a very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant to work with. Have made several small but important coin purchases there over the past 6 or 7 years. Recently Joe helped me with the sale of some Sterling Silver Flatware. He explained the process involved in determining the flatware's value and suggested that I visit several shops to get quotes and then to take the best one. When all was said and done Joe was able to make a more than fair offer and I sold to him. I always have trusted him and feel comfortable with his knowledge and expertise. I feel working with him is always a win - win situation.”
“This place is really great! Highly recommended! Especially to those people who really love stuff for crafts. This place is the best! They have so many interesting things here, their selection is very large, and the whole place is really enjoyable. This spot is very clean, cozy, neat, organized, and bright. Everything here is great! Fantastic customer service! Their employees here are really nice, decent, and knowledgeable. They all know how to treat their customers so right. Also, they will help you to find the things you need. They are so accommodating. You can also check out so easily because they have many cashiers. Awesome service. This Michaels is very accessible, their location is very near and easy to find. You can go to their spot in just a few minutes from your area. Very convenient. The only reason why I gave them four stars is because their restrooms need some repair. But their place is still my preferred place to buy things for crafts and others. They are way better and cheaper than other stores around the place. Plus, this Michaels is also a great place to buy some decorations for Christmas and other special holidays. You can also order online and visit their website. They will bring your order to you quickly. Really wonderful spot! All of their items have really good quality. A really must-visit place for arts and crafts. I will definitely go back here again when I am nearby and I need some crafts again. Thank you for your awesome service guys! Also, thank you for giving us such an amazing experience. Will see you again soon! Keep it up! Well done!”
“I didn't have much time to browse, around but I found the item I was seeking. Customer service was very helpful, and I hope to return soon because they have a lot of nice items that I would like to purchase.”
“I'm very new to coin collecting (roughly three/four months into the massively addicting hobby) and while I've not visited the shop (yet), the amount of education, knowledge and willingness to offer their time to explain the intricacies of certain coins and what to look for during their WhatNot shows is above and beyond I've seen elsewhere. Keep it up fellas and readers of this review...get on over to the store. Nobody's got these!!”
“The Westmont store relocated about a mile west still on Ogden. They have reoriented the layout and, btw, the restrooms are now in the front of the store. Nice displays.”
“Had a great experience over email. They worked out a discount on a gold daric for me outside of the website. Coin was exactly as described, shipping was fast and communication was good.”
