Hey all,
Over the past ten years or so, I've acquired the following comics:
Archie 1 CGC 9.0 restored
Batman 1 CGC 8.5 restored
Superman 1 CGC 7.0 restored
Amazing Fantasy CGC 4.5 restored
Spider-man 2 CGC 8.5 restored
I was prepping for some others to be sent to CGC to be graded and on their website it shows they can remove the restoration and then I can get a universal grade on each comic. What would you guys do? I am afraid they are going to screw something up or they will get "lost" within their facility. Even as they stand now, there's 200k in comics; if not more.

The universal grade would help you in the long run. Could you take it to one of their on-site grading areas and get it taken care of there?
Regardless, those are some impressive comics.

I've never heard any stories about them losing books at the facility (not to say it hasn't happened), but if they had, it would be a huge reputational blow to their service. Any issues I've read about 'losing books' seem to be around shipping.
There are different levels of restoration. If your books have 'slight' restoration, then you may be better off having the resto removed in terms of resale value. With professionally restored books, it should be able to remove the resto without damaging the book. If the resto is more extensive or includes things like staple replacement, you may not want to touch them.
