When you show a good looking girl who works in the store next to you the Old Judge book within a few weeks of meeting her. I swear she asked to see it though!
No idea how I dropped that information about my lifelong hobby before she opened up my closet to see if full of boxes of cards....oh wait, I remember. Johnny V threw me under the bus! Thanks Mrvster for making sure I still have spending money for REA and didn't waste it on stuff like the movies or dinner, stuff you can't send to PSA/SGC
