That's where a scanner and a high school student @ minimum wage would come in handy. Increased sales would more than make up for the minimum investment.

Been to there store a couple times but not in a while. The thing that turned me off was. You go on their store computers to generate a list of cards you want, basicallly they say after they pull them you have to buy them. There is no inspection of the cards, no asking if they have another. You buy what the pull or they get upset. Used to not be that way you could actually search the inventory yourself, but they say their inventory is too large to go back and forth and mess around. The owners dad is the moody one, the guy with the accent

What is it about this great hobby, which is so interesting and so much fun, that makes a large # of dealers and store owners so surly and disinterested in customer service?
OMG, you deal with sports cards and memorabilia all day, do realize how lucky you are that you don't have to work in a factory all day or work in all types of weather? You SIT in an air conditioned store or convention hall, hang out with your buddies and eat all day! I come up to a table or into a shop and practically have to jump through hoops just to get your attention so you can judge how much I'll spend by my age, what I'm wearing or who I'm with? Sorry for the rant but I worked in my dad's shop for 15 years or so and if someone wanted to look at every card we had, we showed them to the customer and let THEM pick the one they wanted and we had millions of cards too.
This Burbank place should have exactly 0 customers and been shut down as soon as it opened with those kind of policies. I've seen their listings on ebay and am surprised they sell anything at those prices, especially a bunch of worthless new crap.

It looks like they list a pic with the high end cards, just not with the 99 cent commons. Which I'm fine with, it takes time to list a pic with every 1991 Topps Baseball Joe Nobody. If I'm working on that set I know what the card looks like, just as long as he grades right and NM is Near Mint and not Near Mangled. I have no issue... Now I'm not saying that goes for every set and every common, I want to see every T206 common or not before I buy it, but for the new everyday run of the mill stuff, I don't have an issue...
