Heck, I even learned how to do this because of the threads I found on here! Yes, there were other things he did which some wouldn't agree with, such as pressing out wrinkles - to each his own. However, compared to all the guys outed by BODA, Dick was an angel! R.I.P.
Agreed. His openness set his work apart from the leagues of conniving card doctors out there.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
