FF 215 and 250 Thanks

Take please.

Just to clarify the above post. I’m friends with the original poster of the thread from the spring of 2023. DeChellis returned my FF 5 but stole my 2k. I filed my complaint with the Oregon DOJ. Nothing happened for months but I was recently contacted by them (not the local police) and they informed me that they are taking a closer look at the case due to the combined high dollar loss in this crime. Many of us have filed with the Oregon DOJ. Of course there is no guarantee that anything positive will happen but we have to try.

Thanks

You are definitely right about this. The US Postal Inspection Service would work this case with the high dollar amount in losses and mailing stolen property.

Sorry for the loss of your friend Bob. Was he a life long collector and what books did he focus on if you can tell us. It seems like so many younger people are passing away from cancer.

Latest email from Oregon DOJ.

I forwarded all the information compiled through this thread on the victims to the contact at the Oregon DOJ. I’ve called her twice and it went to voicemail but I sent the information via email today. I will stay on that person. I’ll keep everyone in the loop. The victims should also call that number and leave voicemails for her.

Thanks. I will call the contact on the letter to advise her of the other victims and the other LLC.

Probably a dead end.

I did file a claim through the Oregon Department of Justice and they contacted me today via email. They attached a letter to the email. See below.

Thanks.

A summary of total dollars that this guy has stolen. Local law enforcement will not take piecemeal losses such as my 2k. If we can get a total dollar loss for the victims including books that haven’t been returned then maybe the US Postal Inspectors will entertain it. 50k and up would be a good start.

On Tuesday 11/14/23 the box containing my books were left outside of my door. The packing slip stated “Not at this address.” I’m not sure where the box was since 11/6/23 but I’m grateful to have the books in my possession.

Heroes Restoration has been a Ponzi Scheme for more than a year now. I was lucky enough to have my FF 5 returned (without the work I paid for) but he stole my 2k. I’m one of the lucky ones.

Fed Ex is a big letdown. I dropped several books to CGC at the New York Comic Con in October. I was pleasantly surprised to see the books move through the pressing and grading process very quickly and the books were shipped back to me on 11/3. On 11/6 they were supposedly returned to me at my apartment building in New Jersey. I saw the shipping online while I was at my job. I noticed a strange name signed for it (SSMITY). I have no idea who that is. I returned home in the evening and the books were nowhere to be found. I called Fed Ex to report the package missing. They opened a case but then closed it on 11/8 stating that the package could not be found and I should contact the shipper reporting it lost. They were very matter of fact when I called them on the phone to complain. The bottom line is they don’t care! On the other hand, CGC Customer Service were professional navigating me through the insurance process which will take 30-60 days. I’ll never use Fed Ex again. I’d much rather have my books!!

Avengers 159, 183 and 189. FF 233, 235, 237, 238 and 241 Thanks!

A few FF’s that were dropped off to Captured Collectibles at the March 2023 Big Apple Con. The books were just returned to me. The holders are shiny for now

Nice copies fellas. I had to purchase high grade copy for myself a few years back. It’s currently out to CGC. Stay tuned.

Thanks!

Batman 347, 348 and 349. Thanks.

I did get my FF #5 back but no refund on the 2k I paid him for restoration services. I hope every collector that submitted books to Heroes has their property returned. I still consider my case unresolved and every other customer who did not receive a refund. A terrible situation for all customers.

Take please!
