The Rosen '52 find

The first was "Mr. Mint's Guide to Investing in Baseball Cards."
The second was "True Mint."
I read them both YEARS ago.
Rosen was not an article writer, I assure you.
Of the two books I would go with "True Mint" because he tells about 25 stories focusing on his finds. Some of them are amazing/wild. The second half of the book is a ranking of hard to collect Topps sets (in terms of condition) and pricing (outdated, obviously). It was written in 1994 BUT still is worth buying on Amazon for the stories of his finds and the quirky people/travel adventures he had back in the 1980s.
Good luck.

Thanks, Mark! I will look for TRUE MINT!
