In Memorium 2023

 It's time for the annual look back at the people who appear in my card collection who have passed away during the year. Unfortunately this is the largest year so far, with 60 people appearing, and sadly it's not just due to me getting more of my collection scanned, we just lost a lot of basketball and hockey people this year. NASCAR lost people today, including earlier today. There are yet more who appear in my collection but have yet to be scanned as well. The previous record was 54 people, set in 2020 and 2022. Let's hope for less next year.
