Now why do you think your wife would be interested in your cards? Better do like a doctor friend of mine did... he hid $100 bills in his medical books and when he got divorced his wife didn't want anything to do with his medical books during the division of assets.... |

Wow Jeff those are some great cards -- thanks for sharing. I've always loved that Lennox, and that is a beautiful example. |

The moral of the story IS DO NOT make the mistake of getting hitched. IF you do, SIGN A PRENUP. you keep what YOU came into the marriage with (your cards and memorabilia collection) and SHE keeps what she came into the marriage with (her cosmo. magazine collection). Geez guys! I am glad I KNOW what to do, IF I were to get hitched, which I have NO DESIRE to do, anyway. So my collection IS safe and sound from money hungry, grubby paws. |

Prenups are pretty much a waste of time. If she wants to chanllenge it, she can most likely get it voided. A nice thing in theory, but does work out too well in the real world. |

mine isn't like that at all either. Matter of fact, she thinks it is awesome when I get a card that makes me happy. Part of the pact is happiness. |

Just had my second anniversary with my wife. I am 29, and have collected for 21 of those years. In the grand scheme of things, baseball cards are temporary trinkets that you can't take with you. I have a belief that marriage is eternal, and I'm glad I have a wife who is considerate towards my HOBBY. IMHO prenups are a recipe for failure, and a refuge for the materialistic. I would rather have a great relationship with my wife and have a modest life, than have a million bucks, a t206 set, and have a crappy relationship with her. THEY ARE ONLY BASEBALL CARDS. By the way, some pretty examples there, I really like the Ramly Steinfeldt. |

My wife is pretty hands off. She knows how to grade the cards and she's about as tough as I am. She really has no interest in the cards but she knows when I get a nice one in the mail. She pretty much doesn't ask how much I spend and I don't volunteer the information. It's a nice arrangement. I haven't resorted to stuffing hundred dollar bills into professional journals or books and I don't plan to. |

Every once in a while i get an itch and buy some unopened 75's or 77 box's from Steve @ b-ball exchange. When they come god help me if i open them without my wife to help. She gets a kick out of seeing who she remembers from her early childhood. |

I apologize if I offended any married men here. However, a "decent" young lady, my age 24, (nearly 25) is EXTREMELY hard to find nowadays.... ESPECIALLY here in Iowa. PLEASE no farm, hick, country living or incest jokes, IF replying to this. I live in the capital of Iowa (Des Moines) pop. over 200,000 residents. I have NEVER lived in the country, I am not a hick, I have never been to, or lived on a farm, and I have never participated in incest. To be more specific. |

Johnson, Koufax Greenberg, Kelly, Joe Jackson when he was real young, --if they were good ballplayers. But I also like weird ballplayers if they were good, no matter what they look like. |

Anson, you're in deep, deep trouble with two girls and the wife. My advice? Build a room in your house to put all your cards in; add a big TV and a lock on the door. |

Ha, unfortunately I do the same thing. However, she's not stupid. She knows that cards that sell for a lot also can cost a lot. I had to laugh when she saw the Cobb I bought for my set and said "What are you doing spending so much for a card. I bet you spent at least $500 on it." Well, she wasn't wrong. I just gave her a nervous smile. |

My wife has been very understanding despite some initial apprehension. She even goes to shows with me and tries to learn about the hobby. In turn, I don't bat an eye when she spends $100 of scrapbook stuff that will never see the light of day. |

First off, while the wife only pretends to be interested in the cards on my first birthday with her while we were just dating she bought me a full-sized Jim Brown signed helmet. A year later she bought me a signed Fran Tarkenton NY Giants helmet. So, while she's not interested, she has never once given me a hard time about this ridiculously expensive habit. Adam, my advice: marry once and marry well. |

When My Abby(my precious daughter) was 10 months old, I had taken her to the Bob Feller Museum. Bob posed for a picture, holding her. I later had the photo enlarged to an 8 x 10 photo. Bob later inscribed it..... "To Abby: It was nice having you at my museum" Best Always..... Bob Feller H.O. F. 62, dated april 10, 2004. Abby is holding a baseball in her hands, as well. A gift from Bob, which we still have. I want her to follow into my footsteps, and have as much love and passion for the game of baseball as I do. |

And her 1st coach-pitch baseball practice is tomorrow evening. I am as excited as she is. She is a lefty, BTW, with a sweet swing and a split grip I stole from Heilmann and Cobb and taught her with a wiffle ball bat when she was 3. Every time a coach tries to put her hands together or alter her stance I have her hit a couple of bullets through the box. |

Jeff, I was reading several New York newspapers today and the front page story of the NY Post is a story about an infamous criminal whose father was probably the most notorious Mobster in the last 50 years and his attorney is Jeffrey Lichtman. I know this is way off topic but when I saw the name I was just wondering if this is the same Jeff Lichtman that contributes to this board. |

My wife of 34 years (we married young) will be accompanying me to Chicago but has absolutely zero interest in attending any of the shows any day, nor the Forum 54 Dinner. She will be going to museums, exhibits and cultural events and do some serious shopping. We will meet up each day for supper but she is excited about going to Wrigley and seeing the Cubs. She likes baseball (unlike her husband who is a former ballplayer and eats, sleeps and breathes THE game). I still read the boxscores every single morning to see how the Twins did. |

My wife has never bought me a baseball card. About 20+ years ago my brother (who has no interest in baseball cards) bought me an N28 Mulvey and N162 Dunlap (from Lew Lipset) for my birthday. The odd part is that I didn't even tell him that I wanted those items. He just did it. I still have those cards and will probably never part with them. |
