You know you are addicted when....

[z28jd]

I have a great one from yesterday! I brought a handful of change to Dunkin Donuts to buy food and a drink, then came home and spent $370 on a Cy Young card off ebay before I even took a bite of a donut...I was literally being too cheap to spend a couple bucks more on real food. I weighed it out and decided DD for less than $5 was the right choice

I think you are onto something. I consider $50 for a card nothing, but will buy a plain $8 burger to save the extra buck for bacon.

I would buy the bacon and save the $8

You know you're addicted when you save a lot of money for a card you "have to have" in an REA Auction, only to find yourself so impatient for the auction to end that you spend it all on unnecessary cards (usually duplicates) on eBay.

you try to schedule all your appointments for the day so they will not conflict with the time your mail usually gets delivered.

or when my 2 year old says "baseball card" whenever he sees a bubble mailer or manila envelope while walking through a store.

I've been sharing some of these throughout the day with my wife and she just gives a small chuckle and roll of the eyes =)

Hilarious! My two year old does the exact same thing. He walks to the box with me, gets the mail, then hands me the bubble mailers and says "here dad, more baseball cards". My wife likes to sometimes get the mail and hide the mailers just to watch me freak out.

I told him the truth I was waiting on money owed to me (for medical reasons that I have been fighting to get for a long while now). The money from my coin sale was spent on a few expensive cards and the rest went onto my condo or was given to my brother to wait till my mortgage is no longer closed and I can pay as much as I can humanly pay in one single shot....I can only pay 15% when it is closed per year.

Why do I have to explain myself every time I make a change in what I do? It is not at all respectful of you to come here and try to make me look stupid!!!

Yes I purchased about 25 other cards and oh my lord I had to cancel 2 of them but will still pay for the other 23 cards without fault!!! I just spent a tad more than I should have based on the fact I was expecting a large check....again not a lie....if I where to receive the money like previously expected I would have kept the 25 cards....SHIT HAPPENS!!!

In 15 years on ebay I have never cancelled one transaction. I believe I am in the great majority here. Get your shit together.

I don't care enough to spy on you. Just enough to comment on what you write.

That is one of the best things I've read on this thread in a while

[h2oya311]

You know you're addicted when you have more than half your cards shipped to work so the wife doesn't know about it

...Or when your father-in-law opens up the guest room closet door and accuses you of being a "hoarder"...

[Bridwell]

When I buy a card I already have, just because it was cheaper than what I paid last time...

(Hope the train wreck is over and this funny thread is back on track.)

Personally I would have checked the dumpster first for day olds. A buck can buy a nice vintage Topps card.

Sorry about my last post. I responded to a funny comment without reading the last couple of pages. Didn't realize this thread had gone into the Adrian Zone.
