    I collect only the comcis that I love the most. I just keep buying those comcis. I know it's dumb, but collecting is about what you love, not what's worth the most money.
  1. Well, that being the case (restoartion fees + regrading fees) I have decided to just cut my losses. I am gonna take the books out of their cases and frame them or something. Do I have to notify CGC when I take a book out of the case?
  2. I don't have a scanner or scans of the books, so I can't post any. If the books were apparent 9.6, do you think I should pay to have the restoration removed? The cover is a dark one, so I think that the grade might be a lot lower with the "small amount of color touch" removed. Any thoughts on this? Have it removed? Sell it as restored and accept the monetary loss? btw, the sellers e-bay ID is "rileyfigueroa". Thanks for all your help so far.
  3. So yea, I called the guy and he guarantees me 100% that he did not touch up the books. I still believe him, as I have dealt with him many times before. The CGC label says "slight professional" restoration. I am ready to accept my losses ~$1300, but I would appreciate any suggestions. Remove the restoration (~$350)? Try CGG? A refund seems out of the question as the transaction is over 6 months old. Any ideas on how much the grade would drop if I had the restoration professionally removed? The seller sells on e-bay, but not regularly.
  4. Hey, I am new here, and this is my first post. Is it possible that CGC could ever be wrong about restoration? I am totally pissed that I just put down $200 and my comics are worthless. All my comics came back with the restored label. I got all my comics from the same source, I asked him and he said he didn't touch the books. So yea, that's my question. The labels say "small amount of color touch on the cover" or "very small amount of color touch on the cover". Is there any explanation for this besides the fact that the guy I dealt with cheated me? I have dealt with him before and he was legit. Could CGC have mistaken restoration with an error in printing? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
