I lived within walking distance of Goodwin's shop. Most times you needed to call ahead to let him know you were coming. The front part of the store was shelves and tables piled high with magazines, books, boxes of assorted cards, etc. If you asked for a little known player in an obscure set, he walked into the back room and come out with 10 of the cards you just asked about.
I too would cringe when he did the thumb-flip through a stack of cards in order to find one. Goody may or may not have had the first card store. I just feel fortunate that, in retrospect, I had the opportunity to meet him and do some trades with him. He is part of the hobby's heritage.
