I mean in a way, dupes of great cards, I wouldn't complain. "Damn, dupes of Trout rookie auto cards ... Booooo hooooo " but when they're high number ' commons' or base ... It's kind of annoying.
Now that I've completed my base set, almost everything I buy is essentially a dupe, so now it pays for me to either buy the rest of the high number SP, or trade.
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.
