You know you are a card junkie when.....(part 2)

[Leon]

This was great last time we did it a few months ago so lets try it again.. What got me to think of it was simply reading the newspaper this morning >

You know you are a card junkie when .. You look at the front page of the newspaper and notice it has a "ghost overprint" on it and equate it to pre-war baseball cards.

...when you are at Staples looking at their three ring binder display and noticing that it is very similar to your baseball/computer room bookshelves (and you think you have more than they do!).

...when you angrily deride the store clerk at Toys R Us, whose rough handling of a $25 toy you just bought for your 5-year old son put a crease in the backing cardboard -- AND you refuse to buy it as a result -- AND you go back to the aisle where the toy was hanging to get a minty fresh new one -- AND when you go back to the checkout counter you make sure to instruct the store clerk as to the proper handling of the cardboard backing of a $25 toy.


After I did this, I felt terrible. I called my wife and admitted I might have a cardboard problem.

All true. Happened two weeks ago.

When you buy a piece of furniture and tell the salesperson that you want the color to resemble the borders of '87 Topps.

Ok, this is scary. I was driving back from my in-laws this weekend and a truck went by. I noticed that the paint color on the truck was the same as the border of a t210.

When a friend says he went to a show over the weekend and you immediately think card show.

When you calculate the cost of things based on what cards you could buy instead.

When you listen to Marmol blow another save, and you look off into space and say "Mordecai would have gone the distance".

When you think that Marmol is the reincarnation of Carl Mays throwing to Ray Chapman.

When you find yourself defending how attractive Christy Mathewson was to your woman who thinks that he was nothing special in the looks department.

When you look at the sunset and think, "That looks like the one on the Patee." or "That looks like the One on the McIntyre."
And so...

When you evaluate the centering of every rectangle within rectangle object in your life. (Don't start looking...there are more than you think!)
