Mr. Mint -- Alan Rosen

My brother and I have been buying and selling cards at shows where Rosen was set up as well since 1988, I know that is not the "true origins of the hobby" but it is a pretty long time ago and before he was the self proclaimed king of cards.

I 100% disagree on him adding ANYTHING good to the hobby. Exactly what did he save it from? Being a hobby where money was secondary to the fun of it? If Mr. Mint had not ever held a baseball card in his hand for a second of his life are we really to believe that our hobby would be worse because of it?

I genuinely would like to know, what did he save the hobby from, and how has he EVER done anything positive for it?
