RE: JustCommons
I think it's just one guy filling all the orders.
They are baseball only.
I have ordered from them on 3 occasions. At least 2 of the 3 had one incorrect card - but only one. The orders were 72, 88, and 19 cards (the 19 were 2015 Topps Golds I wanted for my set). The other two orders were probably from 25-30 different sets.
He was always good about shipping the right card (always single for me) out immediately. SO even if it was wrong, it didn't stay that way.
If he has enough for me to create a free shipping order again, I would do it in a flash.

It seems pretty consistant with other complaints I've heard from them. I would probably steer clear of the cards by the pound and the pallet deals, but I ended up ordering unopened boxes and they all turned out good. The only item I wasn't too happy with was I got 100 mixed packs of baseball cards. The variety wasn't too great, but I still thought it was a decent deal, none of them were damaged, but the packaging could have been better. Like I said, I think its a "Your Mileage May Vary" and it is depends on your comfort level on ordering, but I had no issues.

This is all awesome. I knew you guys would come through. I'm adding all of these sites to my favorites bar under the card folder. Also, I feel a tad bit stupid for not recognizing LCS as Local Card Shop XD

I still like the site. I probably over-complained. Nothing I was ordering was like to complete a set or anything, and nothing that was missing likely cost more than a quarter. Friendly guy too. Once he noticed I was buying cards from a fairly obscure set, and told me he would have more of them in a couple weeks. That got me back on there and I put in another order after he got them. And my orders are usually a couple hundred cards, so I can overlook a mistake considering how scattered my orders usually are.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Swap out justcommons with cardbarrel. That was the one that recently transitioned sites/site name. The owner has posted a few times on this site in response to questions and new site updates.

It appears COMC dropped the free $5 for shipping 100 cards in a month as of January 1st? Does anyone know for sure. That would stink because I am saving up my cards to ship all at once. I have 92 cards waiting to ship right now. Still my favorite place to buy cards, and I'm not going to stop, but I liked getting the bonus. I could turn that into a dozen cards or more, or alternately, buy a card I'm too much of a cheapskate to buy. For instance, when I got $10 for shipping more than 200 cards in August, I used it to buy a card from 1948-49 Bowman.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
