I have an idea I might know who this is. I might be wrong, it might be another card shop owner. There are always some angles that are harder to see as a customer. A local card shop owner I know used to have an incredible group of vintage cases, and then one night he was robbed and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cards. It broke his heart, and his vintage cases never had anything special in them after that.

Most card shops that have managed to stay open have put a lot of effort and store space into gaming cards and catering to that customer. If you're mostly a baseball card shop, it would certainly make sense to have some old cards, but if baseball is like your 5th most popular offering, keeping older, hard to source cards around might not be a big priority.
