Default If you realize you're crazy, you're more sane than you think

I admit to obsessively building sets back in the '80's, but after completing most of the Bowman and Topps issues of the early 50's, kind of lost interest in the hobby for about twenty years. In retirement, needed something to keep me off the streets, so hauled out the old stash, and realized that it contained small numbers of cards from sets never attempted, so, despite much higher per-card costs, decided to return to the obsessive-compulsive hoarding days of yesteryear, and have been feverishly working on completion of sets I never imagined I ever would want to finish. This third-childhood phase of my collecting is not nearly as gratifying as the second, which dealt only with cards actually remembered from the first, but at least it may keep me from being fitted for a straight jacket.
