Cantankerous Card/Coin Shop Owners
When I was a kid I hated the local Coin/Card shop owner.
He was an older version of the comic store owner from the Simpsons.
He had a coin-first shop and showed real disdain for card collectors. Most of whom were pack junky kids not interested in coins in the slightest. I got the feeling that he hated kids in general but really hated kid card collectors who's pallet was not refined enough to know that the resurgence in cards was just a passing fad (in his mind).
He clearly resented the fact that coins were not enjoying the same renascence and that he had to shift his store's focus more onto cards.
