What to look for

Willingness to talk you out of something

The best vintage dealers will tell you a card is not worth what you are about to pay. It is the strongest signal in this category.

Storage that shows respect for the material

Sleeves, holders, upright storage, away from direct light. Vintage sitting loose in a tray tells you everything about how it has been handled and how it was bought.

The rest is on the vintage page, along with the questions worth asking before you hand over a collection.
