As an aside about eccentricity...
I occasionally watched shop at home, and the baseball card guy often had "exclusives" which I rarely see. I have a signature rookies set and signed card that I think was one of those. As far as I know nobody cataloged any of that stuff. To be fair, it was lumped in with overhyped sets, overpriced "investments" and such all of which were just regular cards.
So why does that matter in this discussion?
Despite being grouchy about getting lots of emails, I don't delete them. Some part of me figures that someday those emails will be sort of the only "catalog" of what was available.
And yes, I know that's sort of weird and a bit messed up.
