mint
definitely a hobby legend
recall watching him sitting at his dealer table at the big shows...intently eyeing the door like a hawk ,when customers walked in... wanting to grab them first if they looked like they had something good to sell...
I seem to recall some promoter purposely moved his table elsewhere..because other dealers complained.. he was getting first/unfair shots at the walk in stuff
im sure he pissed off many dealers over the yrs with his brashness, pushy-ness, ego, etc... but never had problems with him
how about that period where morons were lining up to get him to sign baseballs because he was mr mint ..wow really ?
