Default Baseball Card on American Pickers

Anyone else watch the baseball card segment on American Pickers last night? I was kind of excited before I watched it as they rarely have cards on the show. I cringed during every minute of watching it. I know the young man tried to do his best but come on. Was he helping to buy for resale or for his own collection. The seller had so much stuff piled up all around it made me think he was a hoarder instead of a collector. The Ty Cobb card and 52 Mantle were in a box just stacked with a pile of cards? They kept referring to the 52 Topps as his rookie card - give me a break - who doesn't know it's a 51 Bowman.

Regardless, I would like to see more show showing normal, everyday collectors but this episode kind of game me the creeps.

Am I wrong?
