What is Rosen's reputation, in hindsight? Was he on the up-and-up?

Default There is an Al Rosen
or "alrosen" on COMC with over 10,000 cards for sale. He's still going strong, I guess.

There's a few videos of him purchasing collections on youtube that are rather interesting...

Halper is the first name that comes to mind when you say big time collector in NJ from the 80s.

I just watched the one video of his 52 Mantle find. And it's sad how he said he told the guy he'd pay 20% but only paid 10% because of too many cards. What a rip off!

There is something about having someone put $20,000, $30,000 or more in $100.00 bills in front of you when you are selling something!

I don't think of Alan Rosen as a "collector". Wasn't he fond of saying that the
only thing he collected was $100 bills?

Not when those items are worth a lot more than that.

If you are in a tight spot seeing the cash in front of you always wins out against consignment and playing the waiting game.

It's the same reason people go to pawn stores when they're in tight spots and sell their items for half what they're worth if they waited for the right person to come along who wanted it.
