Eventually organizers would give him a table or booth in a prime location for free because they knew he would boost attendance.[2] In a July 4, 1988, Sports Illustrated article, Dan Geringer called him the "King of Cards" in the "high-stakes baseball card game".[3] In 1986, he was offered and purchased the "1952 Topps Find" of baseball cards, considered one of the greatest finds ever in the hobby.[4] He also sold nine T206 Honus Wagner baseball cards over the course of his career.[2]
If true, I was unaware that he sold 9 Wangers over his career. Can anyone confirm? And any idea on which Wangers he owned/sold? Did anyone buy one from Alan?

I don't know anything about Rosen's Wangers, but I am pretty sure Brian is going to jump in with a picture of his.
