Take please!

I thank you for your assistance in this matter. I’m a retired federal agent and worked with paralegals at the US Attorney’s Office in New York. Paralegals did all the work and were worth their weight in gold. I’m going to look into all of this and see if I have any recourse.

Thanks for your comment. I’ve asked this guy several times to refund me along with the book being returned. He’s a bit of a wise guy telling me to check the Terms of Agreement. It’s very unprofessional to say the least. I’m not happy about it but I’m not sure how to proceed with recouping my 2k. Advice is welcomed!

I was hoping to move the book up in grade to a possible purple label 8.0. Mike looked at a pic of the book and felt it was doable. I had used his company twice before and he performed a good job. No issues prior to this. It always bothered me that the book had a trim to the upper left corner. I realized there was no way around that so I wanted a full restoration.

I received my FF #5 back from Heroes Restoration yesterday after requesting the book to be returned since the end of April. I purchased the book raw in 2015 at the NYC Big Apple Con. The book has trim on the upper left corner which was fully disclosed to me when I purchased it. I had the book graded by CGC and it came back in a purple label 5.5 with the only restoration being the trimmed corner. In May 2022, I mailed the book to Mike at Heroes Restoration after discussing the potential of raising the grade after a he performed a full restoration to the book. I had used Heroes Restoration twice before and found them to be professional. I paid 2k for the services upfront as is required by Heroes. In 2023, after reading and hearing about Mikes health issues and the financial downturn of his company, I asked for the book and a refund to be made to me. He had not yet cracked the holder to work on the book. I was told getting the book returned and a refund are two different matters. He referred me to the Terms of Agreement concerning a refund. I have not received a refund but I am happy to have the book back.

The tanning did me in but I love this cover!

I remember when the Black Panther movie came out in 2018. I thought “ i bought a copy from Mile High Comics in 1983!” “Could it be a good grade?” Well it wasn’t but I’m still glad to own a copy.

Flash off next time!
