At the first minutes of the 1987? National in Atlantic City, Mr. Mint blew out the remaining damaged boxes and packs of 1955 Bowman for $20 apiece, but he would open each one and scream out the price of each card he encountered. I was about 100th in line to enter the show and there were already screaming people around his booth about 20 booths from the front of the hall. I ran down there and threw $20 to one of his assistants who handed me a great pack. It was one of very few that were not opened by Rosen himself. My wife was not happy that I wasted $20 on that pack. It's still unopened and a Robin Roberts is proudly showing through the back wrapper.
