Apologies if this scenario was raised. If a guy has a card stickered on a table at a card show, and I walk up and say I'll take it, do we have a binding contract? Uh.... no.
I read some of the case law. It completely reinforced my prior understanding. It seems clear that absent unusual language or circumstances, an "offer" to the public not made to a specific individual -- such as an advertisement, display, catalog, price list, etc. -- is uniformly considered an invitation to treat, not a binding offer. The cases matter a GREAT deal.
