  1. Yes, avoid CGC. And skip McDonald's too, they always make me pay before starting on my McRib... But to be clear, my comment was directed toward contractors (as in the comment I quoted) not corporate juggernauts like CGC. You should probably still avoid McDonald's, though...
  2. Any contractor asking for full payment before any work is done is telegraphing they have problems with cash flow, which is a huge red flag that this is not a contractor you want to do business with.
  3. I concur! I also like how he almost appears to be crying out the original owner's name, "Ronnie!"
  4. What about newer books like 1st edition Harry Potter? There must be some demand for those?
  5. Did Hero send CGC a cease and desist letter to shut down this thread?
  6. It amazes me how far his reputation in this comic community has fallen in just a few years. Hopefully any new collectors considering Hero Restoration's services will find this thread and not this previous one from 2020: https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/464870-hero-restoration-pressing-service/
  7. Same. I had no idea Heritage was listing books I had won at auction as "available for sale" until I received an offer for an X-Men #4 that was long gone from my collection.
  8. Do you have these shipped back to Canada or to a US Mailbox to save on shipping fees? I believe international return shipping for a box of x25 graded books is still $150/box?
  9. The covers look great on my cellphone! Which is probably why I overgraded every single one.
  10. Grades in! A lot less pressure this contest, knowing I'm almost guaranteed a top 50 finish!
  11. Too many favorites for me to pick one, but I think this is Neal Adams' most iconic cover:
  12. Some very distinguished company! Rest in Peace, Thomas.
  13. This may not be the response his customers are hoping for, but wouldn't the simplest and most stress-free solution be to immediately return all books, finished or unfinished, and declare bankruptcy?
  14. 18 Canadians just hoisted it including the MVP. The Knights had two American players in the finals, I believe? You're welcome, Las Vegas.
