I was hosed by Ross in 1992 when I had just gotten back into collecting. Bought "high grade"
Captain America #50 and 57 from him at a local con in Albany, NY. These were the first Golden
Age books I ever owned, and I was completely green about resto.
When I sold them to Jason Ewert in 1998 along with all my other
Golden Age books, I found that those two had extensive restoration (paper added, etc.)
Looking at the books in 1998 I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed the obvious resto, I
probably just wasn't looking for it in 1992. Happily I turned a profit on most of the other books
(including the "D" copies of All-Winners 13 and Marvel Mystery 70 which I tripled my
money on) so it softened the blow somewhat.
