I've often thought about having my own card-collecting theme song. You know, like when batters come up to the plate and their "walk-up music" starts playing? There should be a song playing when I'm sorting cards. I already have the song picked out. It's "I Gotcha," by Joe Tex. It's a fantastic song, one of those songs that was a "B" side to another song, but then some ingenious disc jockey flipped the record over and a classic was born.
