Alan Rosen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alan "Mr. Mint" Rosen (c. 1943 ā January 24, 2013) was an American sports collectibles dealer who was especially active in the 1980s and 1990s.[1] He advertised heavily and was a fixture at card conventions. Eventually organizers would give him a table or booth in a prime location for free because they knew he would boost attendance.[2] In a July 4, 1988, Sports Illustrated article, Dan Geringer called him the "King of Cards" in the "high-stakes baseball card game".[3] In 1986, he was offered and purchased the "1952 Topps Find" of baseball cards, considered one of the greatest finds ever in the hobby.[4] He also sold nine T206 Honus Wagner baseball cards over the course of his career.[2]
