I am wondering....do we call this BGAS.... Beatles "Gear" Acquisition Syndrome? (Pun intended)

Too bad so few can play at this level:

P.S. I still own a couple of Beatles cards from 1965 and I have a copy of the original sheet music for Instant Karma on my music stand right now that I pulled out of storage a while ago.
