  1. Yeah but Steve Borock stopped collecting comic books when he became a grader so there wouldn't be an advantage over others. I'm not looking for conspiracies or pointing any fingers it's just that I find it odd that West is a grader and still collects comic books. He knows exactely what books and grades to be becaus he's at an advantage when he sees books all day, what's plentiful and what's rare.

  2. David,

     

    Where in Montreal were you located? I remember visiting one of the 1 million comics store, I think, in the area of Cote St. Luc and Jerry was behind the counter. He had a beat up Batman #148 in a display case for about $5 or so and I immediately purchased it. That was probably around 1984 or 1985.

     

    The Montreal Gazette had an article about him and a picture where he was surrounded with Golden and Silver Age comic books. It said that he was a former nurse and how he had started collecting and selling comics w/ his partner Robert Cresthol.

     

    Years later, I met him at a Toronto comic con around 1997, he had about 5-6 tables full of Golden, Silver and Classics Illustrated. His wife was there, along w/ his mom and Dad. I bought 3 books from him, World's Finest Comics #3 (1st Scarecrow), Weird Comics # (?) and a Detective Comics #107...all came back as restored from CGC. What a shyster.

     

    Anybody know where he is now? Is he in hiding, has he sold his entire inventory (restored books)?

     

    By the way, whatever happened to Nick Kronfeld?
