I have bought material from Al Rosen I have sold to Al Rosen and I have Cosigned to his auctions. Examples bought an 1871 Boston Program, a Lone star type. Being from NJ I set up next to Mr. Rosen at a small show in the 70's. I was half his age and he treated me like an equal he had questions and opinions like anyone else coming into the hobby at that time.
He was always drawn to Rare cards and had a knack for finding them that is unparalleled. NOTHING but respect for Al Rosen he has helped this hobby and done very well for himself. My only negative memory of Al is me still kicking myself for not saying yes when he asked me if I wanted a 61 Dice game May's for $100. I walked around room came back to his table to buy it and it was sold. (gonna have to let that go one of these days). And I have never know him to tell anything but the truth.
