She likes my hobby & the site, instead of posters of cars/pinups I have tobacco adds and AH catalogues in my office.

Yesterday I brought a handful of cards home from the bank to show a few people at the National....my wife saw them on the counter this morning and called me quite upset..."You're not selling your ghost".....she is a keeper.

I got the exact same response when she saw my 2 e107s sitting next to the monitor one night with a very stern voice...they are definitely keepers.

The other day we were driving and my wife points to the license plate on her passenger side and says, "look honey N173!"

I'm new to the board as I just got back into cards after getting into restoring cars for years. (told old for that now, lol). Now she sees she has created a monster, no pun intended. She loves that I enjoy collecting, but I think she is trying to find a way to slow me down. Lol.

There are two things that get my heart beating. A picture of Kate Upton in a bikini, and a T206 Walter Johnson portrait.

Do they have support groups for people like me?

I wear my Net54 shirt all the time. She knows what this 'hobby' means to me. But her term is 'Net Whatever'....
"You got another 'Net Whatever' package today"... Love it - and her...
