When did you know you were hooked?
The night I knew I was hooked, I was in my bicycle shop. I had closed my shop at 6pm but here it was 10pm. All the lights were off except the one over the front counter, with the front door locked. There were four of us standing at the counter, all with side arms. (it's Arizona) On the counter sat a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and $20,000 in cash. All I kept thinking was that if any police officer friend drove by, this could only be a drug deal. Who in their right mind would pay $20,000 for a piece of cardboard? The end result was I sold my card and everyone went home happy.
thanks,
Merrill
