I talked with Uncle Dick a couple months back, and he is retiring from 'the show circuit' later this year. But if I understood correctly, he plans on still setting up at future Nationals, assuming he doesn't "sell out" his business entirely.

Uncle Dick is a complete piece of shit. I hope he retires or dies soon. He falsely accused me of stealing a card years later. I bought several cards from him at a National about 4 or 5 years ago....2 years ago, he said I never paid for one of those cards, when I saw him years later. He was completely out of line and he is complete piece of shit. I’d never buy from him and he’s completely unprofessional. No one should want his signature. He owes me an apology that I hope I never get, as I hope he dies before I ever get that apology.

are you sure it wasn't a misunderstanding ?

Ole Dick was always a good joe

How about a little more of the story..

I’m 100%...he was completely unprofessional.

4-5 years ago I bought a Rose rookie graded psa 6, 52 Topps mays raw, and a raw poor mantle. 2-3 years later, he saw me at the National he said, I didn’t pay for the Mays. He didn’t even remember all 3 cards being sold, just the Mays. He went to other dealers to tell them I didn’t pay for a card years earlier.....he is 100% off base and 100% wrong. My buddy was next to me during the accusation, AND during this purchase (the Mantle was his). And Uncle Dick is and was a complete embarrassment and I will never buy from him or talk to him again. Anyone that knows me will now I’ve never stolen anything or deceived EVER. Someone that wants his signature is just awful!

cory-
I sincerely apologize for dredging up such a painful memory.
I cannot comment on the incidents, but this would certainly not be the first (nor the last, I suspect) time i've been guilty of foot-in-mouth disease.

Mark,
No apology necessary......not your fault at all. I’m heading to the National again this year and looking forward to seeing almost everyone,
