I have been to going to Burbank since it was Burbank coin. Rob's father started the coin shop in a small storefront in a great older part of Burbank (used to have camera shops, thrift stores, antiques stores all around it). It then expanded into the store next to it and eventually moved to a larger building in the early 90s. I loved the larger building and Rob was always great with customer service. He was one of the first to see the potential for the internet customer and was one of the first dealers online at the Beckett marketplace. Rob grew the business and a few years ago they moved into a warehouse in Burbank. Literally a warehouse. Largest amount of cards I have ever seen in one place. Racks that are two stories high and need a scissorlift to reach. The storefront part is essentially gone now. Rob still has been nice to me when I have gone and even gave me a tour of the place and let me have first crack at a large t205 collection he bought a few years ago. His return policy is great and they will get back to you if you give them specifics of the cards. They probably deal with hundreds, if not thousands of emails a week. Their prices are often high and their grading is usually accurate. I too made a purchase about 2 years ago and got a really OC card. I called and sent it back and they sent me the same card with much better centering. I have not been there in awhile as I generally have moved away from newer stuff and regular issues but every once in awhile I check their site just for prewar or oddball...BTW, the extremely nice t205 that is my avatar is from Rob and he gave me a great price.
