The World According to Mr. Mint

[Jantz]

While walking into a National, he asked me once if I wanted his autograph. I replied with "Why would I want your autograph"?

That pretty much ended the conversation.

I met him at a local show about 10+ years ago and he couldn't have been nicer. I walked past his table and asked him how it was going. He said not bad but not a lot of people selling (obviously, there to buy) so it wasn't a great show for him so far. Didn't seem like a complaint to me, just a statement of fact. Then he asked if I had anything to sell. I told him not really and we probably spent the next 20+ minutes talking about the state of the hobby, grading cards, etc. May very well have been because he didn't have anything better to do and was in a good mood, but all-in-all a nice, friendly conversation. When I went to move on, he gave me a copy of his book and didn't even offer to autograph it, so I guess YMMV.

Never bought anything from him. Never sold anything to him. I have held 2 Honus cards in my life and 1 was at his table. The uncut strip Honus. So I am a fan of his. Not sure I am a big enough fan to want his autograph. If I did own his autograph, I would try to trade is for a Ted Z auto lol.
