Not every Marvel 2 cent variant is a face job, obviously. The fanned pages is far more of a tell than the front to back miswrap. We all have tons of 2 cent variants from 1966-1968

 

Thats good to know

A poster pointed out my Matt Wilson post.

 

I was wrong in stating that the book I was shown had work done by Matt Wilson. Steve told me last night that the work on the book dealers were shown to determine what restoration was done was worked on by Mark Wilson. He stated that Mark no longer does work for anyone else. Again, the work done on the book I was shown was very very good.

 

While Mark has posted in this thread he hasn't answered the question of whether or not he has any personal/business relationship with this particular seller.

 

 

From what I can find on eBay, the search function and the Google:

 

Mark Wilson (eBay: dizneyart, pgcmint.com)

- dealer and restorer(?)

- is a board member (PGCMint) and stated that he has no involvement

 

Matt Wilson (fantasymasterpieces.com)

- restorer

- Mark's brother

 

Thomas Wilson (eBay: collectors_comics)

- dealer and restorer(?)

- relationship?

 

Jesse Wilson (eBay: wxproduction, wxproduction.com)

- dealer and restorer(?)

- Mark's or Matt's son

- likes to use tape: LINK1, LINK2

- currently has this book listed on eBay doh!

If I called the Wilson brothers crooked crooks, could I get into trouble for that?

 

So it looks like a circle of sellers that are related.

Before we just thought it was one seller, but now it seems that there is

Coincidentally the primary reason Mark Wilson shut down World's Finest and sold off its inventory was because, with the advent of The CGC, the company (WF) was being inundated with refund requests due to the high volume of books revealed to have undisclosed restoration. Closing enabled Wilson to avoid the problem.

Hi all,

This book in particular went from a 6.5 (Stain bottom back cover) to a 7.0 (with no mention of a stain). It is really helpful to us when concerns are pointed out as in many ways this is a team effort. But be cautious when you put your faith entirely in scans as they do not always tell the entire story. Be assured we are still working on this, but please let's hold off on the torches and pitchforks.

Thanks
