A glitch in the Matrix

I saw a thread on Twitter about repaging a set numerically and rolled my eyes since I’m not really a set guy at this point - even if I was a set collector, it seems simple enough to where I can certainly make sure to have all the cards in order when putting them in plastic sheets.

Go figure I was digging out a 1983 Topps Don Robinson [#44] I couldn't find, where it wasn't where I assumed it was in my 1983 Topps set binder - I was wondering if the numbering was wrong or I was looking up a card that belonged to a different year of Topps cards.

Turns out card #44 was stuck behind card #43 and the Robinson basically was never placed in its own pocket - so for the work I did to put the set in pages, the order is actually out of whack.

I’m going to say I have a problem in hand, but I’m not going to worry about trying to correct things - it’s probably going to be the case where now I'm pulling cards from the book to include in TTM requests, so there is already a little uncertainty about keeping the set together.

I guess I'm not perfect and probably should live with this glitch - as long as I know what I’m dealing with when looking for a particular card.
