Sorry I didn't post a blog last Friday, but I was in Appleton, Wis. with "Mr. Mint" Alan Rosen on one of his famous vintage card and memorabilia buying trips.

Rosen's son Blake, Dave Czuba, T.S. O'Connell and I were on hand for the deal and Gavel Chat Nation will get a unique insiders' look at what goes down on one of these amazing buying trips.

This video will have to run in multiple parts, as Youtube only allows for 10 minutes per clip. Part I features the Mint Man as he meets Paul, who is selling his entire collection.

Paul has been collecting pretty much all his life and has finally decide to part with his collection in order to pay for his grand children's education.

This clip leaves off with Rosen getting really excited as he enters the final room of the house. You'll have to tune in tomorrow to see why he got so pumped.

Enjoy.
