Buddies Collectibles Gardena

The store offers a wide selection of sports and trading cards with knowledgeable staff, though customer service experiences are mixed—ranging from friendly and helpful interactions to reports of rudeness and price disputes. Many customers feel the prices are significantly above market value, with little to no room for negotiation, and there are concerns about the store’s business practices related to ‘rip and ship’ packaging.
