My wife is understanding when I tell her it's for an investment - She has seen me over the past year make some VERY NICE flips (buy a card and quickly sell it for more) of newer Shiny Cards, and realizes that the Old cards are an absolute investment - She has a 401K that appreciates at 8-15% a year, and i have my cards that grow as well - If you have last years price guide and show her how much the cards went up - figure out the % and then show that spending $500 could very well be a 2k card in 5-10 years - try doing that with China!

Regardless, it's a very fortunate thing that you have in-laws that have money and can give you some. My father in Law lives at my house and is a thorn in my side with NO money who leaves a path of filth and destruction in his way... I'd rather have relatives who give me money, even if I couldn't spend it on something I wanted... lol
