True Mint by Rosen

[sfmays24]

Back in the day at a SF show, he handed me one of his business cards (the size and style of 1952 Topps) as I walked by his table. I later heard he got really upset when his request to grade one of these cards by PSA was turned down.

The next year, I approached him and asked him what he could offer for this Gem Mint card? It was his business card in a PSA 10 Gem Mint holder (from a holder I carefully opened with homemade flip). He was genuinely ecstatic, shaking my hand and thanking me for taking the time to do such a kind thing.

He then offered me 2 different books, which I asked him to sign and he added a nice note as well. I was aware of all the stories about him as well as his SCD ads and auctions, but each of my in person experiences were both positive.

That's honestly a really cool gesture on your part.

Of course your experiences were positive! You made it all about him.
