I'd think that many people who were dealers some time ago could do that.
One of the crazier days hanging out at the local card shop was playing a card game with the owner. He said he could identify almost any card without seeing the whole thing. Since he had a file cabinet full of cards from the late 50's - mid 70's, I figured I'd give it a try. He said if I stumped him I could have a free card.
I gave up after maybe 40 cards, random years picked by me from the cabinet, all commons. Only showed him maybe 25% of most cards, and he got every one.
I still think there had to be some trick, but at the time I tried removing obvious tricks like spotting the back reflected in the showcase glass, and he still go them all.
T206 I could probably get maybe half of them on a good day, maybe a bit more.
