I've shared the story before, but I picked out a Larry Corcoran card as a Christmas gift at a young age because he was the best OJ player available for sale in a Larry Fritsch catalog. I thought OJ cards were extremely rare, so when I had a chance to get a second one and it was a different variation, I got it cheap. I then tried for all six variations, had trouble finding the sixth one (hands at shoulder, London), so I bought a few doubles to trade in case one popped up. By the time I got the first London/shoulder, I only needed two more to have two runs of the same six cards, so I got caught in the loop of buying doubles to trade in case one came up, which led to trying a third run. Eventually I just decided to buy as many as I could, though I have passed on 3-4 of them over the years when I was collecting something else. That's how I ended up with this (second scan was bought after the first pic was taken, so the count is 44 now)
