My wife has no interest and could not distinguish an '82 Kelloggs from a '34 Butterfinger. Thankfully, all three of my kids share their opinions or give the approval that a hobbyist yearns.

My wife and I are both collectors, although she only collects shiny modern cards. We encourage each other to add to our collections. For every card I pick up she can add at least 10 for the same price . Since she's in medical school and we don't get to spend much time together our collecting keeps us looking froward to the 48 hours in the same house, showing off our weekly finds !!

WoW Andy!
We had 5, 5 years old and under! I know exactly what goes on iN a "Diaper Changing Party" Home...

A Year later, when my oldest turned 6, He was Collecting Cards & Changing diapers... He's 21 now and doesn't collect anymore. We still have his childhood collection, but He's developed His Mom's personality towards collecting.

She's Very enthusiastic about it All! However, Neither one of them has looked at a Card iN All long time.

Looks like you have another hobby you like more than cards.
