I remember in SCD about 4 years ago he was going to retire but since I see him at the Chicago show 2 times a year since looks like that never happened. I also remmebr him crying about not getting the front spot at the Nationals a few years ago so he boycotted them and hasn't been there since. He probably thought the National would fold cause because he decided to never show up anymore. Boo Hoo

Mr. Mint & Me:
A few months ago, when I was agonizing over whether or not to buy Goudey #144, I said 'what the heck' , picked up the phone and called the number listed in his ad.
I could not have been more pleasantly surprised. Not only did Mr. Rosen answer the phone himself, he seemed more than happy to chat with me. When he said that he thought the specific card I was inquiring about was a good deal, it eased my mind enough to go forward with the deal. I was just someone taking up his time and using his experience to get a valued opinion. He got nothing but the goodwill I am now sharing. I did not buy the card from him and have never done business with him, but in my small experience, the man is a good guy. I treated him like a gentleman and got the same back from him. Thanks Al !

I met him at a local show about 10+ years ago and he couldn't have been nicer. I walked past his table and asked him how it was going. He said not bad but not a lot of people selling (obviously, there to buy) so it wasn't a great show for him so far. Didn't seem like a complaint to me, just a statement of fact. Then he asked if I had anything to sell. I told him not really and we probably spent the next 20+ minutes talking about the state of the hobby, grading cards, etc. May very well have been because he didn't have anything better to do and was in a good mood, but all-in-all a nice, friendly conversation. When I went to move on, he gave me a copy of his book and didn't even offer to autograph it, so I guess YMMV.

Never bought anything from him. Never sold anything to him. I have held 2 Honus cards in my life and 1 was at his table. The uncut strip Honus. So I am a fan of his. Not sure I am a big enough fan to want his autograph. If I did own his autograph, I would try to trade is for a Ted Z auto lol.
