Buying Cards You Already Have

I just bought 2 cards on eBay. 1988 Donruss and Fleer cards of Gregg Jefferies. The purchase set me back a whopping $2.18 , tax included. The problem is, I might already have both of those cards in my collection. I wasn't completely sure, though, and  was too lazy to look through my collection to see If I did, indeed, already have them. Oh well. Worst case  I'll now have doubles of a couple of cards that I hold In high esteem. 

Falling Out Of Love With Baseball

It hit me while watching tonight's AllStar game. Maybe the uniform uniforms had something to do with it. Maybe it was the excess player fraternizing on the field or the clip of Tatis  Jr. wearing the  homerun chain. All these things set off a chain reaction and suddenly everything from the implementation of replay to the " man on second" extra inning rule had me doubting my love for  today's version of MLB. In fact, the day they decide to implement the DH rule in the National League will be the day I stop watching baseball all together. The last straw I guess you could call it. I could list other things that have changed in the game that are contributing to my growing disdain for the sport but I've gone over it ad nauseum in my head. My mind is made up.
