Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>"Please note that all of the above services are generally accepted by all grading companies as they cannot be detected in most cases ..."<br /><br />Is this a joke? If it isn't, it's amazing how low some folks will sink to make a buck ...

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>This is what they say about "major" restorations:<br /><br />ALL RESTORED CARDS WILL BE MARKED WITH HIDDEN INDICATORS THAT WILL BE DETECTABLE <br />EACH GRADING COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED WHERE TO LOOK FOR THESE MARKERS <br />PLEASE SELECT CARDS ACCORDINGLY FOR YOUR PERSONAL COLLETION <br /><br /><br />It's the so called "minor" stuff that's undetectable. <br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Paige does not look like the same card. Resgistration is good on the before and off a bit on the after. Look along the left side of his face and the bill of his hat. I wouldn't trust these guys even if I wanted to restore my cards (which I do not).<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>bcornell</b><p>C'mon. <br /><br />"ALL RESTORED CARDS WILL BE MARKED WITH HIDDEN INDICATORS THAT WILL BE DETECTABLE."<br />"EACH GRADING COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED WHERE TO LOOK FOR THESE MARKERS"<br /><br />That, in its pathetic "don't blame us when they smell the bleach" way, is all you need to know. Mr. Desmond will keep trying to offer his 'expert' services, but no one has to take him seriously.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bill<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Mike Mccullough</b><p>Copy and pasted below repair and removal page...<br /><br /><br />REGARDING RESTORATION SERVICES<br />RESTORATION SERVICES ARE EXCLUSIVELY RESERVED FOR MAJOR STAR CARDS AND / OR VERY RARE ISSUES<br /><br /> * ALL RESTORED CARDS WILL BE MARKED WITH HIDDEN INDICATORS THAT WILL BE DETECTABLE<br /> * EACH GRADING COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED WHERE TO LOOK FOR THESE MARKERS<br /> * PLEASE SELECT CARDS ACCORDINGLY FOR YOUR PERSONAL COLLETION<br /><br /><br />I really have a hard time believing that they can restore cards like this but can't spell simple words on the website.. Notice the word colletion... It looks like I will have to wait for another restoration service to come around before I start submitting my beaters... Geesh!!!<br /><br />
