Marc S.They are one of the bigger retail outfits for cards. Access to a lot of "collector-grade" cards, with much of it fairly high priced. You have to remember that in this hobby, a very large percentage of people are still not shopping on Ebay and the Internet. They have market presence and history as a dealer. You don't have to buy from them -- but usually they are a decent enough outfit. For what it's worth (and I'll say worse rather than better), I would say that Mr. Mint is basically the head buyer for Kit Young -- keeping the best stuff for his auctions and the collector-grade stuff going to Kit and his catalog. The few times that I have seen some 1950s commons graded PSA 8 from Kit on Ebay, the starting prices were reasonable.
