Ever "Accidentally" Build a Nice Collection?

[All The Hype]

Because apparently I did. I prospected Morrison a few years back and sold some stuff and made a little bit of money, but then some of his prices dropped and I started buying more because I liked his potential, the way he hustles, and his backstory. It turned into the following collection, although I'd sell most of it if there was money to be made. I like LoMo and don't mind having a nice collection, but I definitely wouldn't mind if he bounced back and hit .300/30 next year so I could move a few

Why is the BGS 9.5 2010 Bowman Sterling Purple Refractor a reversed photo?

Because all the purples from that year were reversed

Wow. Most impressive. Hope he puts up some numbers for you if you are looking to sell.

By chance I put together a rainbow of 2012 Topps Chrome Matt Moore autos. I had pulled the black, bought a blue because the deal was to hard to pass on. Then my buddy at the lcs said he had a ref and base he was looking to sell so I bought them. I figured at that point I may as well finish it.

Great collection of LoMo's

I wish I accidently made a collection that nice. Heck, I wish I purposely built a collection that nice

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm very happy to have all these, but I guess it was the first time I realized exactly how much I have today, as much of this was bought under the pretense of "This was triple this price a year ago, I gotta grab it."

Looks like my Alcides Escobar stash. Same story.

Not to mention Derek Jeter is aware now. That's gotta count for something.

One heck of an accident! Nice collection.

When I was ripping 99 BC2, I pulled the Steve Lomasney rainbow except for the #/25 parallel. And all through the early-mid-90s I opened a lot of boxes, back when it was not too daunting financially to just rip a box of whatever new set came out that week. I netted a bunch of nice Eric Karros and Mo Vaughn cards. Those two were always in my boxes.

Yeah, some of us were trying to build a nice collection while you were accidentally doing so... but they look much better in your collection than mine. Those blues and oranges look so nice - I just wish his sig was a little less messy.

I can't stop picking up Topps '52 red autos and SP autos.

These are my dupes - almost every blue ink you see is a short print with ~120 copies signed.

Edit - here's the collection I actually built, as a side project to my Heritage sets.

Just realized I have 7,000+ scans in my bucket. Yikes.

Never seen someone's sig get better over time
