100%. I remember there was a moment in 2005 or so when I looked upon my nine variations of the Carlton FIsk Rookie Cup cards and realized this was going to be a lost war for me. I kept up with the Fisk cards for another year or so before giving up. But the happy ending to all this was that in 2013 I decided to go on eBay and try and sweep up some of the latter day Fisk cards I had missed, and stumbled upon a PWCC auction full of vintage stuff. I bid on a few things and that's when the vintage collecting bug reinfected me. So the 48 variations on the parallel 2016 Topps Heritage Fisk cards will have to wait for another day..
