Fantastic transactions selling my cards...I was given a very fair offer and mailed my cards to Rick. I was surprised when the check actually was greater than the quote 6 of the 7 times I sent cards to him. Extremely professional and knows his cards.
Look forward to many more transactions with him.

Actually kinda amazed that this dealer is one of the few in the industry that is honest.Rick took his time with our families inheritance,gave us a fair price,and was a joy to deal with.Look no further,he makes the Chicago dealers look bad on paper and intelligence Thanks Giz Pete and Mary

Rick was amazing with us,knowledge of this industry is unbelievable.Sold him our cards after being at a local coin shop and some place out by mall,they both low balled us.Rick gave us a better price and much more friendly.

Rick is the consummate sports cards and memorabilia dealer. Highly knowledgeable, in the rare instance he doesn't have an instant answer he expedites finding it through his many networking connections. He shares many reputable relations throughout the industry which truly gives one many options in being highly satisfied with his cumulative expertise. He always offers a fair honest price and is open to negotiable suggestions. He has a proven history as a superior authenticator. No matter what you're seeking out, if Rick doesn't have it he will point you out in the right direction. I've long relied on him for all my needs and questions. He also possesses a mastery of appraisal skills. For all your business sporting purposes, seek out Rick. You'll never walk away regretting it.

Gizmo is absolutely incredible. He breathes integrity! He is passionate about the sportscards collecting hobby and genuinely cares about the entry level hobbyist. Thank you so much for guiding me through what to be aware of as a newbie. Thanks for sharing with me about PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett and ACE. Wish all business's were like you!

Rick came to my house in Minnesota to look over my collection. He's personable and professional. His knowledge and experience in the industry was evident and I felt comfortable selling my cards to him. If people are looking to sell or buy sports memorabilia, then Rick Giddings is the guy to contact.

They drove 13 hours to look at my collection, spend about 4 hours looking at my collection and purchased perhaps 1/2 of it. They are professional and were a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them

I traveled 100 miles to meet with Rick to sell my childhood collection of baseball cards. We had a great two hour visit, discussing baseball, Pirates, Yankees, sports, baseball cards, life, and our experiences. We then were able to reach what I considered a fair deal. I would refer anyone who is interested in selling baseball cards should go to Rick. I never felt pressured to sell my cards. Overall it was a great experience.
