I’d never used Hero Restoration prior to this submission but they came highly recommended when I first posted a picture of my copy of Giant Sized X-Men #1. Sent it back in May and just got it back this afternoon. I’m very pleased with the way it turned out. I didn’t notice the differences until I put the pictures side by side. Have a look and see! What do you think about the results?? As is customary, the before shot is on the left side.     |

 I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery.

| Forgot to mention, yes, it was a press only. No cleaning (I have a guy that does cleaning for me). | ||

| I thought when you get it pressed the cleaning is included. | ||

| There is a fast press option that skips cleaning | ||

| As far as pressing, Mike has done good work the few times I've submitted to him. | ||

| The pressing job is solid. Great improvement on the spine. You can't clean stains with dry cleaning methods. | ||

| I sent my Walking Dead 1 to Hero Restoration...was maybe an 8.0 at best when I sent it to him, he got it and did his thing, sent it to CBCS and it came back a 9.4. I highly recommend him. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer Yesterday when I posted this I was second guessing myself on whether or not I paid to have it dry cleaned as well and I thought that I didn't... this morning I'm going through and looking at old emails and turns out I did pay for it. So now I'm following up to see if the book actually was dry cleaned as ordered. I realize that some stains just won't come out but I would think the big one on the back would be a prime candidate. I'll let you know what he says. |

| @shrewbeer I agree with you. I think he's going to come back and say that he tried but it's too deeply soiled. | ||

| It looks like it’s been dry cleaned to me. Dry cleaning is not going to remove stains, especially the one on the bottom back cover which looks like it has mold/mildew spots in addition to the discoloration. | ||

| FYI - Yep he said it had been dry cleaned but the stains are too deeply soiled. I'm pleased with the pressing job, though! Turned out great. | ||
