Bob and his rubber bands were passe even then, but he explained that he rubber-banded his stacks loosely, and he wasn't in the business of selling mint cards anyway. I was an occasional dealer at shows in the Eighties, and with Bob in attendance, along with Alan Rosen, I characterized Rosen as Mr. Mint (obviously), Bob as "Mr. vg to ex," and my humble inventory making me "Mr. fair to good."
