As a dealer, I always make cards for stock I purchase and resell and never pass on the card of the seller from whom I made the purchase. However, when selling a collection for a collector or the like, I include any and all cards but do not make a card of my own. This makes sense to me, though others may feel differently. Of course, if I purchase a very old specimen with a museum card or other historically significant paraphernalia, I do include that, as I know many collectors consider these cards and such nearly as important as the specimen, itself. When I purchase a single specimen (as a collector) unless I know the dealer is reselling a collection, I always resent them not providing a card. This is not uncommon, however, and some of the "best" dealers do not provide cards. Those are my observations.
