Alan would have salespeople dress in suits and carry his tome in an attaché case. They would sell his book, his cards, and more importantly his philosophy. Lots of pomp and little substance. The inflationary prices and fanciful projections were not of this earth. As it turns out though - he was kind of right.
What began with a grading/encapsulation process in the coin industry morphed into same for cards. It was suggested he would encapsulate cards and coins that were altered into his own tombs and sell them as uncleaned or unaltered. His reputation was let's just say not stellar and one can get a glimpse by searching a bit of the interweb. I spoke with him a few times - primarily after he moved to Florida related to cigarette packs and packaging. He actually had a table at a national maybe 8(?) years ago after an absence of about that much time. I have his book entrenched on my collectible bookshelf nestled in-between my Cashmanian coffee table book and Petrone's Tobacco Advertising The Great Seduction. Quite a character - many of the early hucksters were.

I wonder what he's thinking when he sees PSA grading tens of millions of cards or the recent SGC '52 Mantle reach $12.5 million

I get the feeling that you all don't think this "VERY RARE" WaJo card, which was already slabbed when I got it 25-30 years ago, will cross to a "legitimate" TPG slab at the same 7-NM grade.

I assume you mean this:

WHEN WE REFER TO A MAC FINEST STICKER-ED SPORTS-CARD, WE ARE REFERRING TO THE FINEST GRADED SPORTS-CARD OF THAT DATE OR TYPE AS BEING THE FINEST SPORTS-CARD TO BE GRADED, NONE FINER. THIS FINEST DESIGNATION SPORTS-CARD WILL MAINTAIN ITS VALUE BETTER THAN IF IT BECOMES A SECOND FINEST GRADED SPORTS-CARD. THE FINEST GRADED SPORTS-CARD WILL ALWAYS MAINTAIN IT FINEST VALUE BETTER IF THE MAC FINEST STICKER IS AFFIXED TO THE SPORTS-CARD.

Never order the word salad...it's one of the more expensive items on the menu, and it tastes like word glue.

Agreed! Maybe he will sell me a sticker to put on the slab?
