Two Set Needs. Oh, Just One.

I walked out of Saturday's card show with three cards for my collection.  In addition to the T206, I picked up two 1955 Topps All American cards for my set.  Or I thought I did until about five minutes before writing this.

When I looked at my checklist, I thought that I needed both of these.  The Cas Myslinski was highlighted that I had, but my note that I'd bought from COMC was still there.  Months ago I picked up a copy from there and didn't pay attention to the back of the card.  The damage was terrible and the card number was not there.  So, I never put it into the set.  

Sometime since then, it appears that I picked up another copy from Nick's and now I have a double.  It's not the first mistake I've made and it won't be the last.  

With this addition, my set is 64.7% (66/102) complete.  

Happy collecting!
