Al Rosen's briefcase
I hope I'm not repeating myself....
Rosen carried around that briefcase stuffed with cash. That was his signature.
He was always after Frank Nagy, who was basically the godfather to Detroit area collectors. Nagy was a genius.
His line to Nagy was, "When are you going to invite me to your house?" This was presumedly so he could root through Nagy's collection.
Nagy, who really was the smartest guy in the room in those days, would reply,
"Bring more briefcases."
I love that.
