Senility? I can't seem to remember what I already own.

"How do I justify keeping dupes?"

Simple. I don't tell my wife I have a dupe!

And let's keep it that way!

Cheers,
Patrick

I rarely do, but when I do it's simply because I enjoy owning both cards. Usually they're different grades so I have a high grade example as well as a lower grade version that I feel has excellent eye appeal for the grade. That's all the justification I need.

I rarely acquire dupes, but when I do it is a card that I believe to have a significant upside over time, and there is little point in selling it now.

Best wishes,

Larry

Default A duplicitous response
Here is how my extra cards remain within the fold...I dupe the dupes into believing they are part of my collection, thus in the process duping the dope that is me into believing they belong.

Every vintage card is slightly different and if it’s a card you love it’s great to have multiple “variations”. If you never look at them, then sell them...
