Oh there is no question if you bring paper records in to the mix there are enormous opportunities. I worked at a mom & pop restaurant for several years. In the attic of the restaurant were stacks of boxes with credit card receipts dating back to the mid-80s at least. While the chances of many of these cards being valid now are significantly reduced, there is always that slight chance. I have a credit card from the early 90s that the number has not changed (kind of nice in a way as I can recite the number by memory now).
On the flip side though, to some extent, I would consider these records safer than a website. At least to gain access to these records you would have to physically enter the building, climb in the attic, sift through hundreds of boxes, gather the info you want, and then leave. This would also require you be in the general location of the building and have knowledge of the records being there. Hacking a website database from across the globe is a whole lot easier, so you I would say that their existing paper system is more secure to a degree.
