- "I've had the pleasure of knowing about The
Madonna Catalog (and Steve) for quite a few years now. His
site, information, knowledge and items has always been unparalleled.
Over the years, it's just gotten better and better. The ultimate
and most indepth Madonna discography. He loves what he does and
it shows. And a great guy on top of it all. Thank you for all
your hard work and for always having a reason to come back to
the source of it all!

- Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say I'm really impressed
with all the latest and quick updates you've had on your site
recently. The last few sign-in pages have been a really cool
welcoming and it's great to see all the new photo galleries!
You just keeping showing time and time again, having a membership
is sooo worth it on your site!
- Mathew Russo (Aurora, IL) writes:
- I am really appreciative of your general "attitude."
I've not traded, bought or sold anything much in terms of Madonna
to be honest, with most people. However, I have exchanged emails
with a lot of other fans, and most of them are very bitchy and
have a lot of, well.. "issues." They take things oh
so seriously, and give me a real bad impression. I want to thank
you for restoring my belief that there exist more 'normal' people
out there who are Madonna fans--who have their heads on their
shoulders, and are down to Earth. Your attitude is always positive,
even after reading all the stuff on your site about Fraudsters
and the like, and addressing people with common questions, etc...
The attitude is always positive and to the point, and not demeaning.
You are a real shining example of what a decent fan (and collector
as well) should be like. So I wanted to give you some applause
on that.

To Madonna fans,
- I am a huge Madonna fan. I am fortunate enough to find Stephen M Caraco. Not only is he knowable, but he is very kind. He goes to great lengths to make his customers happy. And he is a patient man. He helped me get prints of Madonna despite the fact that I am not computer savvy. He put himself out to help me. And his photos of Madonna are second to none. Each photo is clear and perfect. He is a photo artist. No one comes close to his merchandise. I intend to continue being a member of his great site. And buy a lot more photos and stuff. Stephen Caraco is a good man!

- This Site to me is the Ultimate Madonna Site. Everything
a true Madonna Fan could want or need is here. I have come into
this site with my Myumee Madonna Dolls so many times a few of
them are beginning to develop de ja vue. I have to say Im not
a fan of ordering anything over the computer, mainly because
half the time you dont get what you thought you ordered or the
quality of what you thought you ordered turns out to be garbage,
and even in some cases what you ordered isnt what you end up
getting at all. I just recieved the Video Tapes I ordered from
you and was like a kid at Christmas!
- EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!
- Not a single thing disappointed me about the whole process
of ordering through you, and will recommend you to everyone.
To me Stephen, You are the KING of the Madonna Internet World,
and I recommend anyone who has hesitations about ordering on
line to order from you because you pull through a hundread per
cent! Not only were the videos I ordered in perfect condition
but you also included beautiful covers as well and cases which
had a listing of everything on the tape. Which for me I have
to say - Thank You! I am a very busy man with the Myumee Madonna
Dolls as well as the other Myumee Dolls I make and the Myumee
Doll Website, so when an order like this follows through so perfectly
it is very much appreciated. For the first time after an order
I didn't have to prewatch what I ordered just to make sure I
actually got what I paid for- I didnt have to do this because
it was all there! It was just like pure Madonna enjoyment! How
fantastic it was to not have to wait super long <like I usually
do> to recieve my order, I got it in a very short amount of
time...as a matter of fact Ive got my tapes playing on the TV
right now as I type this, but wanted to let you and all your
visitors know what a tight, exceptional well run ship you have
here. Thank You Stephen, to you and your increadible Site!
- Giulio Mazzoleni (Italy) writes:
- Dear Steve,
Thank you for the wonderful stuff you are putting online for
members only . The fee is very cheap and the stuff we get is
excellent.
- Mark Jameson (San Diego, CA) writes:
- I don't know why Steve's site is not considered the OFFICIAL
Madonna web site! The Madonna Catalog Home Page is a hundred
times more complete, interesting, and better than the Official
Madonna Fan Club's site! Not to mention the fact that Steve has
a much better selection of merchandise to buy, more updated information,
better graphics, and I get my orders in just a few days, not
two months like with the OMFC! Keep up the good work, your site
rocks!
- An anonymous fan writes:
- Steve has better things and his services are way better than
the Official Madonna Fan Club (ICON). You get your ordered items
faster, and he actually e-mails you back
- A fan from Los Angeles writes:
- He is VERY reliable. I've ordered from him many times, and
i got a whole bunch of good stuff too. I got my Bedtime Story
UK Limited Edition 12" from him, which i love. Everytime
I ordered, the service was good and fast.
- don't hesitate at all ordering from him.
- Häakon from California writes:
- I'm always blown away by the massive amounts of detailed
information that the Madonna Catalog has to offer. It's timely,
it's quality, and it always satisfies. I hope that every Madonna
fan out there - no matter how large - has the opportunity to
visit at least once in their web-surfing lifetimes, because you're
surely missing out if you don't! Mad props to Steve on an immense
job well done. :)
- Rick from Massachusetts writes:
- The Madonna Catalog Home page is by far the BEST Madonna
web site on the entire internet - it's the ONLY one that has
truly complete collector's guides, tons of cool photos, and plenty
of things to look at! Keep up the good work!
- Derek from Huntsville, Alabama writes:
- Never have I seen a site so frequently updated, cared for,
and so well kept. Kudos to the man who dedicates himself to what
loves, and it's easily seen that you love this. I hope it brings
you years more of enjoyment. Keep up the good work.
- A fan from Los Angeles writes:
- Steve is a very reliable seller. I have always been happy
with my purchases. Also, if you are an avid collector, his site
is extemely informative! He catologs all things Madonna and does
a great job at it. You can also find out a lot about forged/fraudulent
items, etc. Great Great Site! And every year he hosts a Madonna
Convention!
- Jeannie from New York writes:
- HI STEVE,
I ALWAYS LOVE TO VISIT YOUR SITE CAUSE ITS FULL OF GREAT NEWS,
AND DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE GREATEST ARTIST ON THE PLANET.
NEVER STOP OFFERING INCREDIBLE MADONNA MERCHANDISE & REPRESENTING
MADONNA TO THE FULLEST.
YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF MADONNA ON THE NET!
- Rachele Settanni from Winnipeg, Canada writes:
- I'm going to speak from my experiences with Steve as some
people don't care for his site. I've never had any problems with
anything I've ordered. I've been a member for 2 years and I really
like the site. It's good for those who are really into collecting
as he's got tons of photos and info. My orders always came very
well packaged and pricing depends on the item. If I'm not sure
about a price he has then I look around first but that goes for
anything Madonna that I'm looking to buy. You always want to
get the best price for the best quality right.
- You can get a trial membership just to start and see what
the site looks like: TRIAL membership (complete site access for
3 days only): $2
- He's always good at getting back to you via email but sometimes
it may take a few days as he gets tons of emails so I can understand
that. I'm never in a rush with anything anyways so that's cool
with me.
- Mark from Georgia writes:
- I love this site, not only are there tons of Rare Madonna
items, but the prices are reasonable, and the owner is da bomb,
he won't rip you off, and makes sure to say whats wrong with
an item if there is something wrong with an item
- Joseph McCoy (Austin, Texas) writes:
- Fantastic site Steve! You seem to fill the gap missing in
the world of collecting by offering rarities up for sale and
displaying others which are out there to be discovered. Fantastic
graphics and easy to use navigations. I also love the ability
to "click" for a closer look. I don't think that OMFC
is any competition to you, the sites are like apples and oranges.
I'll definitely be here more often, as this is THE collector
site on the net!
- Kelly Knowles (Millville, MA) writes:
- Hi peeps! Yep- Steve is a GREAT guy to deal with- he goes
ABOVE AND BEYOND to make his stuff perfect. Everything single
thing I've ever gotten from him has been MINT- and if there's
ever a problem, he fixes is right away. So no worries We did
have a M convention this year- it was actually in Billerica MA-
his friend doesn't have the Boston studio to let him use cause
she rented it out so we had it kinda in the boonies! We did have
some fans from Canada and even FRANCE there so it was still cool,
but not nearly 1/3 of the traffic from the previous year, the
one in Boston. If you can make it to a convention, please do
so! There's so much going on and always a big handful of peeps
to chat and hang out with! And as always- walls and walls and
walls FULL of Madonna merchandise some of you may have never
even seen before!
- Rylee from Sydney, Australia writes:
- Steve, your site is THE most informative one for Madonna
collectors EVER. I love just browsing at all the Madonna items
I don't have yet :) and looking at the collector guides from
the different eras. It is obvious you put a lot of effort into
your site, and my message to you is "thank you". Your
enthusiasm and love for Madonna does not go un-noticed.
- Trevor Scott (Portland, Oregon) writes:
- Steve, You have a fantastic site. I have bought a few things
from you and have consistently been very happy with the items
and service that I get from you.
Alberto in Terra Bella California writes:
- To the owner: your website is STUNNING! I can't even begin
to think about how much research you've done or how much money
you've spent! Your website is very informative and puts many
others (including the Fan Club site) to shame. To any one considering
buying from the MadonnaCatalog: Don't hesitate. Service is friendly
and fast, and the items are the real deal.
- Priscilla Smits from Holland writes:
- Hi everyone, i think this is 100% sure one of the very best
websites for Madonna fans and collectors. I am deeply impressed.
I am a serious Madonna fan and collector since 1985. I am 32
years now and Madonna is a big influence and inspiration in my
life. And i LOVE her music. I would like to get contact with
other fans.
- A fan from Virginia writes:
- I've known Steve for years, back during the old PRODIGY days!!
He's a good guy and would not steer anyone wrong. He's been in
the "Madonna Business" for years and I have always
wondered how he gets all that stuff!!!!
- Suzanne Bass from Maryland (USA) writes:
- This is the best Madonna page of all time. She has been my
idol since I was in the 5th grade (1985) Ever since I have gotten
alot of stuff but nowhere near what you have. Funds don't exsist
for all that you have. I keep buying stuff when I can. I saw
her concert now 2 times and I am so amazed at how perfect she
is! Thanks for dedicating all your time and effort the best chick
in the world!!
Peace & Love
