That might explain a lot of other things going on with me, too. LOL
Seriously, it's really not Beckett, but Topps. The card numbering was i.e. US123 or U123 ... now the Chrome updates have a HMT123 alphanumeric ... so Topps started it and Beckett is reflecting what Topps did with the name. (HM= Holiday Megabox ?)
Sometimes searching for the correct name of the card on Beckett OPG is as hard as it was searching for missing cards at shows & LCS before the internet and eBay came into the picture.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
