I use to go to their shop all the time. It's probably one of the last shops where you could ask to see some '65 topps and get handed a 5000 count box of raw cards, not even penny sleeved, mostly NM.

They had a display case, probably 50 ft long, with vintage star cards. All Becket graded. (old Beckett, before bvg) They were in stacks by player/year. If you saw a stack of 5 cards with a 58 mantle on top, they were all the same card underneath. They also always had a case dedicated to pre-war. I've always found their prices fair.

That guy wakes up sorting cards and probably does it in his sleep too. That kind of thing doesn't happen overnight, so IMO, they're not lazy. Are they a-holes?... Yeah kinda.

There were cards made after 1969?
