I think we may have jumped the gun!
When I pasted his message into a non-collector translator app, it cleared up what his intent was:
"I wish my fellow collectors the warmest of greetings, and would like to introduce you to my stepfather, a saintly man who married my mother and saved our family from ruin after the calamitous passing of my beloved father.
He owns some beautiful cards dating from the late 1800’s that are in remarkable shape for their age. He will be delighted to talk to you about them and answer any questions that are sure to come.

My kindest regards,
Tony ("Tiger" to my friends)
