He could be thinking of Rosen.

What is Rosen's reputation, in hindsight? Was he on the up-and-up?

Default There is an Al Rosen
or "alrosen" on COMC with over 10,000 cards for sale. He's still going strong, I guess.

There's a few videos of him purchasing collections on youtube that are rather interesting...

I just watched the one video of his 52 Mantle find. And it's sad how he said he told the guy he'd pay 20% but only paid 10% because of too many cards. What a rip off!

There is something about having someone put $20,000, $30,000 or more in $100.00 bills in front of you when you are selling something!
