My local card shop (I think there is only one left in Lincoln) has half a case with "vintage" cards...those are cards from the 70's and older...I think he may have had a few T206 cards at one time. Never have I seen a 19th century card in the shop and I've been going there for 15+ years. The modern card shop is really a gambling parlor for most....who can pull that 1 of 1 out of that $5 pack of cards? I still visit the shop to buy plastic sheets or other supplies...on occasion I will see a youngster buying an Alex Gordon or Joba Chamberlain card, but usually it's someone my age or older buying up packs and opening on the spot trying for the chase cards.
