> Do card dealers not own their inventory before a street date? (And, therefore, sold product that was not his?) (Vs. breach of contract) This is the key quest

This is the key question. Almost all the comments in this story are on 1) WotC are jerks for sending Pinks, 2a) the guy shouldn't have given them the product, 2b) if Pinks showed up at your door you'd do it too,
... but if it is indeed the case that dealers don't own pre-release WotC products before the release date, then it goes from open-and-shut "he was within his rights to keep the cards forever" to something more messy.
- Root_Denied 3y agoIf the dealers don't own pre-release products then it becomes messy for the courts, police, and lawyers. There's no world in which Pinkertons (or anyone acting similarly in a private-enterprise fashion) should have ever been involved regardless of the legal owners of the product.
