You know you are a card junkie when.....

.

Your heart beats faster as you are about to enter a card show

[aquarius31]

Your wife calls you a dork for closely inspecting, sniffing, commenting on your cards (something like "damn look at the colors on that one") and you take it as a complement

[e107collector]

When the wallpaper display on your cellphone is an E107 Honus Wagner.

When your wife walks into your office asking what you are looking at on the computer and you respond, "porn", but she dismisses the comment by saying, "No, you're not. You're looking at baseball card crap again", turns around, and leaves the room without ever seeing what was on the screen.

(This happened this weeked. BTW, she was right. I was looking at baseball card stuff and not at porn.)

... maybe I need help.

[Howe’s Hunter]

you sneak on to the Net 54 website at least eight times during a nine hour work day to make sure you're not missing anything.

I check here more than eBay, and I could actually buy cards there, not just read about them.

You know you're a card junkie when baseball cards become porn.

Smelling cards is number one. My girlfriend never gets it. I smell every new card I get. Be it some junk wax at Target or something in the mail. It must be sniffed.

Get frustrated with my daughter when she keeps creasing and roughing up the edges on the cardboard coasters in the restaurant....

[A2000]

When you have 5 or more bookmarks on your browser dedicated to baseball card related websites.

My wife stopped asking a long time ago.. She'd probably be relieved if she were to catch me looking at porn..

[Exhibitman]

When you wear clothing until it has holes in it but your cards are immaculately stored...

When you would rather go to a card show than get laid...

When your wife sends you off to the National every year to "go play with the other dipsh*ts..."

When you add up the cost of a family vacation and then determine how many cards on your want list you could buy instead...

[Jcfowler6]

When this thread makes you feel normal.

I don't need therapy!

[90feetaway]

when you keep your favorite cards next to your 'go bag' so if you have to evacuate quickly those cobbs and wagners won't be left behind

[Robextend]

When you have a seprate bookshelf dedicated to old auction catalogs.

Even when it's a show where you've only found vintage cards once in the past 2 years.

[almostdone]

You know your a cardboard junkie when...

-You are gone from you're family for a number of days and your four year old is waiting up to see you before bed but you still drive an hour out of your way to meet another board member and see his colletion (hi Chris!)

-You can't get to sleep at night so you try to counting Hall Of Famers in your collection instead of sheep.

-For some stupid reason you hold on to a cap to deoterant that say "If you still have your baseball card collection you must be a Mitchum man".

Done all three in the last two weeks

You know you're a card junkie when you

Wake up every Saturday and search the Internet for card shows. Then, when you see any sign of a card show within 50 miles you hop in the car.

[rainier2004]

when your wife can explain to guests the differences between e145-1's and e-145-2's then gives you "the look".....
