Ever go through a stack of what you bought and sratch your head wondering why?

It's a snow day and 7-8 varying stacks of cards are getting organized. Mostly 1971 Topps. And then there were these. 18 in total purchased throughout the year.

I didn't buy any other cards issued in 2013 except this one. I don't have a big connection to Mr. Podres although he was my very first "Old Card" when I started collecting over 30 years ago. 1955 Topps and it's long gone. While I do not recall a conscious effort to corner the mini autograph market it is more than a coincidence that I would routinely search and purchase. I reckon this is a fine enough homage.

I've bought a handful of graded cards over the last few years, nothing expensive but everytime I look at this small stack I wonder what was going through my head when I bought them. That's probably why I stay so strict with my collecting goals/focus, done wasting money on junk.

The worst purchase I made was an 89 topps Tiffany Ken Griffey jr. Rc graded sgc 7. Wasted about $30 on it.

Every time I prep for a show I go through this. I'm like what the heck was I thinking when I bought this stuff?! I have stacks of 2013 Heritage, every year of Ginter dating back to 2007, lots of Gypsy Queen, mini's and other junk.

How does that Podres situation happen?

I can't even imagine how many copies of "Catcher in the Rye" you own.

Was that a decision you and Jim Beam made?
