| 46.2 | Mr. Mint | REMACP::MARSHALL | | Sun Jul 03 1988 23:18 | 13 |
| RE: .0
I met some people this weekend, dealers not collectors, who
said that they have tried to deal with Mr. Mint on occasion and
were in for a rude awakening. They said that he doesn't really offer
the kind of money that was quoted in SI, and gets REAL picky about
conditions and is very beligerant. I guess with the kind of money
that, you get to call your shots. At any rate, he didn't get to
where he is now without knowing the business!!! I wish I had
some of his money and cards though.
See you Wednesday JR.

| WHEW....I haven't seen this article but it sounds like this
guy qualifies for the "scum of the Earth" award according to what
I read here. Would anyone be willing to send me a photocopy of
the article ? I can't get SI in Ireland and by the time I get home
for my vacation it will be gone from all the stores.
By the way, my two cents worth on the short-term "investors"
buying/reselling to fund their "habit" is ...... It's OK by me as
long as no one is out to screw the other guy along the way.

| 46.4 | Mr. Mint is #1 | AKOV12::GASPARONI | | Fri Feb 16 1990 16:19 | 11 |
| I've spoken to Mr. Mint, and the guy is genuine, a real nice guy. He
is very knowledgable about the card business, and can just about quote
any card right out of the book. He also has a personnel collection
which suppose to be quite nice. He is very pickey about the cards
conditions, because thats what its all about in his business, selling
top condition cards for top prices. If you have a Gem Mint card, he
will give you top price, believe me, or he would not have the
reputation he has in the business. He is #1 in the business, he has
turned over $27Million in cards in only 11 years in the business.
Somebody has to be buying from him.

| 46.7 | wanna buy a watch?? | FSTTOO::JMAXWELL | | Mon Feb 19 1990 11:33 | 15 |

Not only is he into autographs but he is also into selling watches, as
Roy and I witnessed in New Jersey.
He struck me as a "car salesman" type of dealer. I stood around and
watched him for awhile. I happened to see somebody walk into the show
carrying a small paper bag and immediately Mr Mints hollers loudly:
"Are you interested in selling some cards today, sir". The poor guy
was about 15-20 feet away from him at the time. He doesn't miss a
trick. I suppose that is how he keeps his reputation but I think
he has the personality of a jerk.

I think Mr. Mint should specialize in selling one type of card.
I can see it now......Mr Kahn's Wiener

| Sounds like you guys may be jealous?? Everything you said is exactly
what a dealer should be doing at a card show. Hawking his stuff. He buys
what ever he can, and if some guy walks in and doesn't know the FAMOUS
Mr. Mint, he may possibly walk right by his table with a box full of
52T MM's, or pete roses. He's there to buy and sell, not stand there
like a dead log. Give the guy a break!!
