When you completely understand this:

'A dog may be Man's best friend,
but -
PayPal is Married Man's best friend.'



(what a great thread.... All these posts have me laughing. Kenneth - did they find the Julius Caesar rookie card?)

Because of his enormous ego, he ordered it to be super-printed, so there is no shortage of supply!

a client hands you his business card and you mentally grade the corners and consider the centering.

Whenever you hear about a major catastrophe like Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans and wonder just how many of those devastated homes contained one of the rarest and most sought after unknown cards that were lost forever and never to be found again.

And one more....

You know you are addicted whenever you have actually contemplated the idea of going to a major landfill in an effort to dig up garbage - hoping to find all those lost cards thrown away the last 100 years.

Skydash, you know what I'm talking about:)

You are on the computer so much checking Ebay and card forums that your wife thinks that you must be addicated to porn, there is no way that you could be in front of a computer for that long looking and talking about little pieces of cardboard.

completing the applications for eHarmony and Match.com, you request a photograph . . . of her vintage sportscard collection.


I hope my wife doesn't see this post.

You know it's unreasonable, yet you get irritated anyway with your wife for not being home when the mailman brings a card package requiring signature for delivery. (Sad but true in my case.)

This is an embarrassing thread, excrutiating to read. And yet I can relate to 90% of what has been written. Pathetic.

You refer to your friends' ages by saying he or she is from the 1952, 1967 or 1971 series.

you see the #311 and automatically think of Mickey Mantle. It is amazing that I can remember card numbers from all the sets that I have made over the years.

If I could not fall asleep at night I would sometimes try to list the most popular card that Topps made in order and see how high I could go.

Ex. #1 Pafko, #2 55' Williams .......... Some are pretty hard to have a great card, but it is fun to see if I can remember a popular card if not a great card.

you decide that you've had enough of the BS on this Board and announce that you're leaving, never to return, only to return within days, weeks or months following your announcement.

you have memorized all the grading company submission numbers that you have outstanding, and check the websites repeatedly each week even though you know the turnaround time is weeks away.

you are trying to get a good look at the corners of the '60 aaron card in the sharp HD commercial to see how it would grade.

When a tv sportscaster mentions an old time player and you mentally picture his rookie card

or

If you're watching an old movie, instead of watching the movie, you think of the card sets issued in either the (a) year of production or (b) the year the movie was set in. This is particularly true if you are watching a movie with your wife that she picked out.
