Thank you Fred, and thanks to all here who have said similar things to what i said. This is one subject that drives me nuts!
But hey, as much as i say this, its also nice to see a bunch of high graded cards, and Fred has them all!!!!! LOL. Seriously, Fred has an incredible bunch of great high graded old cards, but Fred, since yours are mainly not graded 10's i guess my friends would look down on your stuff too.

I don't really have much of anyone to share my cards w/ either. My family & relatives know I have a basement full of stuff but don't really ever ask to see anything. My wife is very understanding but would rather have the basement cleaned out to neaten the place up!
She gets the most excited when I tell her I sold something!

I'm with you all the way on low graded cards-- ESPECIALLY YANKEES! From one Yankee fan to another, here are my Yankee greats whose collective grades don't even add up to two MINT 9s, let alone their collective cost is probably not even remotely near what one of them would cost in MINT 9...

That's why we come here. When I try to convey the excitement of picking up a great vintage card, my wife's eyes just glaze over. I've stopped even mentioning the fact that I collect if we go out with a group of people, because I get the inevitable "yeah, I used to collect baseball cards too....when I was 12".
This board is like a safe haven!!

Aside from net54, there is always Manchurian-candidate-style child-rearing. For example, my three year-old son can name every player on every card in my collection now.
He especially loves Shoeless Joe and Babe Ruth. His first word was "Mi-Ma," which is what he calls Mickey Mantle. I think he even has a stare like The Mick on his 52 Topps... I figure if he just doesn't sell my cards for a car or worse when I'm long gone, I'll consider it a win. The downside to brainwashing our kids to love older cards though is that their friends won't know what the hell they're talking about-- kinda like what we deal with! Anyways having some picture/posting trouble here but got a great GIF of my boy struggling to say Shoeless Joe. Will try and get it up here right. Last edited by MattyC; 01-18-2014 at 12:37 PM.
