| So here’s my question: both books I bought from Steve and sent to CBCS for signature verification were denied and returned to me. Is there anything I can do at this point? I only purchased them for the signatures — otherwise, the books themselves aren’t particularly special. Now I’m out the cost of the books, plus the expenses for shipping, verification, and insurance. I’m not asking for a refund; that’s not my intention. I’d actually prefer to send them to CGC and try my luck there. What I’d like to know is whether Steve personally obtained the signatures on these books, or if he purchased them from someone he considers to be an extremely reliable source. If they came from a source that’s less than highly reliable, I won’t waste additional money resubmitting them — I’ll just keep them as they are. But if Steve got the signatures himself, or from a trusted source, I’ll take another chance and send them in for authentication again. |

| @sportshort there at a couple of us who already have sent to cgc/jsa - maybe wait and see the results? at this stage i am not sure. my thinking was this is borocks - of course he had them signed - right? i checked the sigs before i submitted and to me they all looked good. also some of the sigs not bought through steve - were rejected as well. what bothered me the most with the rejections were the use of the same standard letter for each and every rejections listing 8 different reasons without being specific. so at this stage i am waiting to see cgc/jsa’s assessment before making a judgement |

| @poka I 100% agree with all your points. I will wait and see how your submissions go. I have to say that the rejections were always a possibility but I felt that CBCs would be fairer than CGC but then again, they don't encapsulate unauthenticated sigs which is so dumb. But here we are. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. | ||

| Hey all! I am 90% back in action! I just want to thank everyone who called me, texted me, emailed me and PM'd me as well as not joining the pitchfork club. You sooooo rock! Thank you!   I really screwed the pouch on this one. Many, many reasons, but still "The buck stops here"!  I am super happy and VERY grateful to the people I owed books to were extremely very patient and not freaking out, unlike the people who passed judgement without even really knowing me or not even knowing me at all, as that that could probably hurt my name on the internet. Yeah, kinda sucks for me. That said, my fault. Oh well....I just have to live with that. Like Abraham Lincoln said: "You can't believe everything you read online" (Maybe I should not have made a joke here, but what the heck, I am friends with too many of you all. We should all THINK BEFORE WE POST. Remember: It might really affect someone's life and even their living. Then again, if I judge a judgmental person, that makes me just as bad. Just can't do it! I kind of like peace, love and happiness. My life just went haywire and for the very worse. Probably one of, if not, the worst year I have ever had. Many of my friends already knew what was going on, but later than I should have told them. I was not talking to many people, but let's just say that "a perfect storm" hit me from all sides. UGH!!! Like Norm from Cheers, the world had treated me like I slept with its wife! Most people in our hobby knew I would never rip anyone off. (I hope the extra goodies helped the sting a bit, if at all). Save the pitchforks for the real criminals that many of you deal with while I am still trying as much as I can to protect our hobby (not an industry!) I really posted for people to PM me as I was hoping to give each collector something they actually wanted. that's all. period. It had nothing more to it. I was just trying to make up for such a long delay. I believe that I have helped enough hobbyists/artists/newbies/writers/dealers/collectors/etc, in our great, wonderful hobby and I have never ever ripped anyone off, ever! I would have hoped that many of you would have given me a bit of leeway (as I have done for so many others), given my track record, but still, my fault. I can't blame anyone but myself! Oh, @sportshort I have had these for a while now, like most my stuff. Not sure which collection they came from or if a friend/client that had given or sold things to me. If you are uncomfortable with the book, please PM or call me and you will get a full refund like I would always do (as well as ANYONE ELSE). I sure don't mind holding onto it. Please LMK and I will get the money to you before you ship it back. I love this amazing hobby of ours and I strive, every day, to do the best for all of us in it! I am very sorry if I let any of you down, I really do. It was not my intention to do so, but I guess that I did anyway. Very sorry! If I do post anything for sale here again, I will only do one single sale of an item or lot, put in the post of 2 to 3-week shipping time, and not put up anything else until it ships. This way, I can still offer pieces at really discounted price to all here. Thanks to the many of you for your understanding and kindness! I am forever grateful  Peace, Steve ☮️ |

| @sborock_ComicLink, as I said, a refund is not my intention. I will send them in after I hear/read @poka's outcome. Even if his experience is similar to mine, I would still like to have the books slabbed (hence my complaint about CBCS not encapsulating un-authenticated signed books). I'm very glad that you and yours are doing better, that's great news. |

| @sportshort Thank you so very much! That said, I will honor any sale for a full refund, including postage for the return, if wanted. That goes for anyone I have had or will have any transactions with. Always. |
