I usually put them together, box them, and set them in a closet for another day. Most recent cool find was in the 2011 Heritage Minor League set, I found a Trout RC red tint parallel. Pretty excited to find it.

Not only because I missed a lot of good games, but I missed out on cards like these that I'll never be able to afford. I can't justify spending $250 on a card when my normal monthly card budget is about $35. I now consider that break my biggest regret in the hobby, and I have since I came to my senses and came back to the NBA in 2012. As for my greatest similar find? Well...back in 2004 I found an old dealer who wanted to retire...just wanted to be done with everything. So I was able to complete 5 1970s NBA sets from him and got to within 5 or so cards from every Topps set from 1975-81, plus 1986-87 Fleer which I am only 4 cards short of now and have been since 05. In my own stash? I found a parallel of a Lebron James rookie card in my duplicate stash, now having looked at my base cards from the set since they were new.
