About a week or so ago, I found an eBay auction for what I thought was a 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary parallel that I still needed. Quickly, I pressed buy (it was cheap) and didn't think anything else of it until the card arrived last week.
I ripped open the envelope and took a look at the card and said to myself "don't I have this one already?!"
Answer: Yep, I bought a Blue Prism Refractor when I thought I was buying a Blue Mini-Diamond Refractor (which I have since purchased over on COMC so as to not run into this issue again). What can I say, too many parallels plus me being an idiot equals bad news and wasted cash.
For the record (perhaps for my use as much as anyone's), here is what I still need from the 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary set:
