    What legal avenues ? There’s clearly no money left…

    Thank you, it was a very stressful experience, and I’m relieved it’s over with. The fact that I’ve lost over $65,000 just has to be put behind me.

    He calls it “Dry Grafting”. I don’t pretend to understand the process though.

    The Batman # 1 referenced earlier in this thread was mine. It was a poor looking 5.0 with trimming (not CGC), and Mike did a decent job on it, inc removing the trimmed designation, something that I had no idea could be done. However, the problems posed my Action # 7 & # 10 have been very badly treated, and in fact made much worse now to the point where they are unsalvagable. They look as if they have been washed to within an inch of their lives. Bearing in mind he received these books in 2017, it looks like he was experimenting with techniques he was certainly not a master of. Either that or his mind was deteriorating so much that he began to do all the wrong things to these books, because they are a disgrace now.

    So finish the Tec # 29, and send it out with the Actions 40 hours or so in…I can live with that.

    How would you know if I was overly concerned or not ? Do you have a record of all the private messages back and forth between Mike and I ?

    Mike, I just checked on dates as best I can, and you’ve had all three of my books for over six years now. I just want the books back. That’s all I care about. Am I ‘not getting it’ ?

    Yes - he said it was impossible. And that he was filing for bankruptcy, and I would have the opportunity to apply for some restitution when contacted by the trustee. Not a lot I can do from this distance I would think.

    Well, here are mine : Action # 7 & # 10 Detective # 29 Cost price was $53255 including $550 for a More Fun # 38 as a donor back cover for the AC# 7 I paid $12275 to Hero, and the last I heard from him was April 10th, saying that he would return the books via a trusted third party, as I’m in the UK.

    I got my Batman # 1 back last year after six years. It looked really nice , I was surprised it only got 7.0…
  22. quicksilver
    Action # 7, # 10, Tec # 29.

    I have three books with them, two of which have been there about five years…

    Yes a new house in a nice part of Spain seems like a good trade off, but I can’t help wishing I could have saved some of them…
