I was as shocked as you are. And these cards are apparently getting graded.

I don't think so....very scary on these. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't botox in humans wear off after a while, hence the need for more injections? Maybe the grading companies could leave holes in the slabs for a future nip and tuck, or injection, as needed?

Matt, Ray Charles told me he saw Dick's cards and that he was, in fact, joking.

Matt- you assumed he was joking, and Leon and I assumed he was telling the truth. As we know you can't pick up someone's tone on a message board. Maybe Dick would like to tell us if it's real or if it's memorex.

I didn't know you were joking Dick. Well, in all fairness, you do work with chemicals to clean up cards, right?

Dick - you said you have taken wrinkles and creases out of cards (I believe)....and also you remove stains, which I might not have a problem with personally if you don't use a solvent that would deteriorate the card later in life, so how are we to know when you are being serious or joking?

This isn't meant towards you individually but when someone tells an untruth, then says they are telling the truth, how do we believe them?

As an analogy, I suggest that if you are a card doctor, you don't make jokes about doctoring cards. People might believe you.....

I knew Dick was joking. I thought Barry was joking too!


Leon,


I do not recall Dick ever talking about taking creases out, but I may have missed it. I remember that he used a variety of chemical to remove crud and/or stains from cards.
