"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!

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
