They threw in everything except make your own trading cards. I wonder what they intend to pay such an accomplished expert in all things non-sport. They don't say.

There's a job where you need to be in your 50's or older to know all that stuff. Just about every other industry/field wants younger people.
They might be hoping you'll be willing to be paid in cards.

I'll likely retire from my day job in the near future. If this could be worked remotely (I don't want to move to Texas), I'd have to consider sending an application in.

Worth a shot if you have the luxury of not having to rely on it. Everybody's working remote anyway and that ad sounds like they are looking to see how close they can get without knowing who will apply. It would be great to turn a hobby into a paying job instead of the money pit that it is.
