My wife doesn't ask what I spend on cards and I don't ask her how much she spent on Rodan & Fields (makeup-very expensive makeup). Probably a wash. I love my wife!

USPS trucks give me instant erections.
Also, when I die, rather than a coffin, I want the guys over at PWCC to package me. They are masterful. |

I couldn't disagree more. Their refusal to put a multiple thousand dollar card in a box to ship irritates me. Always a double mailer. I cringe when I see them. Terrible packaging IMO. I've Emailed them and they disagree.

I'd rather go to a card show than a broadway show.
I don't dream about having power or money or fame, I dream about having more cards. I've asked my daughter to sprinkle some of my ashes at the National, wherever it may be.

I do like to do a modified "Happy Dance" kinda like the dance that Eddie Murphy did when speaking about Ice Cream on his comedy show "Raw"

I live in Japan and collect cards here. The main set I collect each year is put out by a company called Calbee, which distributes its cards with bags of potato chips (you get 2 cards per bag, the sets usually have about 250-300 cards).
This is what my kitchen cupboards look like during the baseball season:

Well, better than Topps bubble gum at least.
The downside though is that the chips come on one flavor (plain) and you accumulate way more than you can ever eat very very quickly. Plus the chips themselves constitute about 80% of the value of the thing you are buying, whereas bubble gum is more or less a freebie attached to the cards (or at last was back in the day). And gum doesn't take up anywhere near as much space!

Yes they put them in little packs that are attached to the outside of the bags like this, so the cards come stain free.

Hey now- I have it on good authority that gum was still good ten years later. Could ever claim that about potato chips, even the radioactive kind.
