 Nothing gets a woman hotter than a super refractor 1/1! As for me, there will be no hiding the fact that I'm a collector the next time I get back to dating. If the cards out on my desk, or the myriad of books I have out on the coffee table don't give it away, the McFarlane figures in my bedroom will.

Over the last 25-30 years (I'm 57), all of my good friends have learned that I collect sports items, and some comics. I talk about it like I talk about sports, the weather, my kids, politics, our golf games, a movie, and whatever else comes up. I neither brag about it nor hide it. Privately, some guys will bring me things they have kept and ask me opinions, and of course value.
I've found in the last year when I talk about certain cards and how much they've gone up in value, non-collectors eyes glaze over mentioning an 8/10 grade now sell for over half a million dollars (1 guess what card I'm referencing) and what it cost in 2012, 2019, 2007. Suddenly they are more interested in understanding. As for dating, when I was into that game, my line was "I like sports. I collect things. Hopefully you like something too." I've found that there are not many women who are passionate about anything inanimate like men are about sports, or collecting. Last edited by Stampsfan; 03-22-2016 at 12:21 AM.
