My girlfriend is nuts. She fought me when I bought the Plank, but accepted it. Then when prices went up she got happy about it. Now 7 years after I bought it she is mad because I didn't buy two of them.

As if that was ever an option.

Default Another choice
My wife looks the other way....asks me what "these PayPal" charges are very now and then, but never bothers me ...

You should add a choice " not married" as I sense many on this board on not married for different reasons...

Am I missing something or do we have around 114% in our poll? This must have been one you could vote twice in? I think that is an option?

BTW, my wife is very supportive, doesn't ask questions, and can't tell a T3 from a Baguer Chocolate (really big to teeny tiny)

Just checked, it is a multiple answer poll....nicely played!!

My wife not only supports my collecting, she encourages me to buy more.

My wife and I dated for four years before we got married...she saw exactly how I am with regards to collecting and still married me. In 15 years of marriage she's never complained one time about it...so I assume I have the green light to continue.

Essentially, same here. She knows I have a hard time pulling the trigger on larger items, but always encourages me when I "feel bad" after doing so, saying it's my money and it's not like we "need" it for other things. She also encouraged me to go to the National this year again when I considered bagging it. Gotta love that!

She also has her own collection of Manu Ginobili cards, that I more-than-happily add to every chance I get.

I probably should clarify though.... she was not my first wife.

I should probably also add that whenever I come home from a show (including the National), I can't put my cards away until she looks through them. While she might not be able to tell the difference between a T206 and an E card, she can tell the difference between a T206 and a T205 and knows some Topps years by design. I give her a few more years and she could easily work for a TPG as well.

So there! LOL

Dang, can't give an answer to the poll. Still, my old girlfriend accepted my card collecting as part of my overall being and was fine with my addiction.
