Default Mr. Mint's phone not ringing so much anymore?

Saw this recent article in the NY Daily News. Hopefully it's not a repost.

Anyone else remember the Mr. Mint trading cards that he had made up, autographed and then tried to pass them out every time you stopped by his table at a show?

The sportswriter who wrote the story Bill Madden sold his collection (or consigned it, I don't remember) to a dealer. Guess who?
This is not the first time he has written about Rosen and given him free publicity.

I'm not a fan of his style of self promotion, but I think he was good for the hobby.
