I have been an active collector rare baseball items for more than 25 years.
Accordingly, I have worked with every major dealer, and many legendary
collectosr, many of whom are now deceased.
I bought my first Four Base Hit from Rob when he was only 18 years
old.
He has always been the most knowledgable person in the hobby.
While some may think him aggressive in his style or for his determination,
Rob suceeded where so many others have floundered because he
puts the interests of the customer first.
He commands extraordinary prices because of his intimate knowledge
of obscure pieces, and he gets great material because he knows
where the best stuff is burried. His auctions may not be the largest,
and he does consolidate lots, but an overall basis, I am pleased
with the experiences that I have. In fact, there has never been a time when
I purchased an item from Rob (either directly or in his auctions) that I lost a single
dime on it if I later chose to sell said item.
He is not only a brilliant business person and Ivy League graduate but
he is an astute student of our hobby and baseball history.
