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.

Hence the (I believe) .......I wasn't positive but thought he does that too....I could be wrong, which is more than I can say for one person on this board who has never admitted to being wrong....

Jim- I truly thought that this was simply something that Dick concocted in his card repair shop. Was I gullible? I suppose so. But like Leon said, one shouldn't make jokes about doctoring cards when you sell a chemical that removes stains from cards.

I gotta be honest with you. Any talk of taking out wrinkles chemically, even if only joking, your really taking a chance of offending collectors on a baseball card chat board.
Just my two cents.

Wrinkles he admits to.

It is important for us as a hobby to understand the full extent of what is really going on out there.

Thanks again for your posts.

T 206 Thank you for the kind words, I have already received many emails and even a phone call at my home in support what I do. PAPER WRINKLES, GLUED IN CARDS, GLUE ON CARDS, WAX AND GUM STAINS, INDENTS, TAPE, JUST GARBAGE ON A CARD. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT SUPPORT.

Thanks for doing the legwork Peter. That's why I said "I may have missed it."

I just went back and re-read the thread Peter cited.

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...851#post743851


Dick seems to be adamant that he removes "wrinkles" but doesn't do anything with "creases."

Personally, that's splitting the hair too finely for my liking.

Dick also said, "I never sold anything and never will" on that thread. What does that mean?

By the way, I give Dick a lot of credit for the Botox remark -- very funny!!
