When I got home I went to mark them off of my checklist (didn't have pen with me, will be taking one next time). Found out I didn't need the '55 Bowmans I bought. When I looked to see what cards I needed I looked at the '57 Topps instead of the '55 Bowman. Guess I have some trade cards for the next time and I will be more careful.
I did the same thing at a show last year.I was building '73 & '74 sets and used my '74 list for '73's and bought a bunch of cards I didn't need.I guess
I should have brought my glasses!!
