I can't stand when people only ask how much my collection is worth! It's like asking how much is in someone's 401K, or stock portfolio.
For the most part I'm totally alone as well, but I do have a few friends who collected pretty heavily with me when I was a kid. One worked in a card shop and had a pretty ridiculous collection of 40's/50's/60's for a 14 year old. All have "grown up" since and for the most part have given it up. It is nice have some buddies though who can at least appreciate cards. I'm getting married in 9 days and will be giving cards to my groomsmen (one thanks to Cy!), and I know each will get the significance of his card. That said, I rarely tell them about my purchases because A) they think it's ridiculous and irresponsible to spend the money I do and B) they then get jealous!!
