Very interesting article from Sports Collectors Daily about Card Addiction:
https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...f-the-shadows/
I thought the article (and videos) were well done. While most of the article was about modern cards, I have (sadly) seen this in the vintage area as well. Examples over the last few years are collectors who hide purchases/cards from family members, not knowing what they own, and racking up debt to buy cards.
I love cards, don't get me wrong, but I can definitely see how this can be a slippery slope for some collectors. And I do worry that with sports gambling, this "gambling" mentality will be more prevalent in the card community.
