I have bought cards I already have on far more than a few occasions. If you are in the hobby long enough the odds are pretty good that you will do it.

I haven't done it with any Pre-War but I have done it a number of times. I just sent a package off this morning with a 51 Topps Red Back Feller that I bought at a local show. I didn't have my checklist with me but I was SURE I needed it.
 He kicked around the outskirts of the collection for six months or so until I found a home for him.

Different versions?
My first thought is always, "aw, man!" but then my second thought is "try to spot the difference". It's happened to me few times, with the result being I ended up with different version cards (different back offer dates for 'duplicate' Red Man cards, and different color card stock for a pair of 'identical' 56 topps cards.) Turning lemons into lemonade! Then of course you also have the chance to compare and keep the best one...who doesn't like that?

Man Chris, ten of them? Nine I would believe, but at this point you might fall under the hoarder category. Don't worry, I've been called that too for my collecting habits. You don't want to see the scan(again) that I could put up

I put the shameful scan in the new Old Judge thread. Can't believe I made the same mistake 33 times

Fine line
Me thinks it's a fine line between acquiring two of the same cards on accident to doing the same thing on purpose. Maybe should be called a slippery slope instead...
Just this week I bought a card I already had because I didn't write down all the ones I previously had...now I can write it down with a 2X next to it...but then all the others will look "slightly off" in my twisted mind...so I might have to buy more of them to even it up... I have CDO....that's the same as OCD but with the letters in the correct order
