What the hell is this world coming to?..

Bacon should have it's own food group.

You know you're addicted when...
 

You know you're addicted when you save a lot of money for a card you "have to have" in an REA Auction, only to find yourself so impatient for the auction to end that you spend it all on unnecessary cards (usually duplicates) on eBay.

You know your addicted when...
 

you try to schedule all your appointments for the day so they will not conflict with the time your mail usually gets delivered.

or when my 2 year old says "baseball card" whenever he sees a bubble mailer or manila envelope while walking through a store.

Hilarious!

awesome!!!

.....when you think this thresd is the funniest thing ever and make your wife read it so she`ll better understand how you think (didn`t work).

Good one Craig. Zone I enjoy your passion.

My response to the original thread would be you know you are addicted when you begin to think of how much things cost in terms of vintage base ball cards. Hmm...new carpet or another rare back for my T206 back collection.

.... you win cards on ebay with money you don't have yet. Not good, Adrian.

"Dear -----,

I made a mistake I was to receive a large amount of money by the end of May from my previous job but so seems it will be only at the end of June 2013.

Please cancel this purchase I believe that the person who bid behind me was about 5$ off my high bid I am sure he will be happy to get a second chance offer.

I truly apologize.

Hopefully you won't do the same thing to the sellers of the dozen or so cards you have won in the last couple of days.

Hilarious! My two year old does the exact same thing. He walks to the box with me, gets the mail, then hands me the bubble mailers and says "here dad, more baseball cards". My wife likes to sometimes get the mail and hide the mailers just to watch me freak out.

Adrian can be a seller's greatest dream come true or worst nightmare depending on when you encounter him in his cycle. The risk is not worth the reward for me. Would hate to be caught up in that BS.

You're really addicted when you can't get rid of the wife, because you are affraid she may take half the collection.............Just kidding........I think I'll start hiding some of the collection.

I told him the truth I was waiting on money owed to me (for medical reasons that I have been fighting to get for a long while now). The money from my coin sale was spent on a few expensive cards and the rest went onto my condo or was given to my brother to wait till my mortgage is no longer closed and I can pay as much as I can humanly pay in one single shot....I can only pay 15% when it is closed per year.

Why do I have to explain myself every time I make a change in what I do? It is not at all respectful of you to come here and try to make me look stupid!!!

Yes I purchased about 25 other cards and oh my lord I had to cancel 2 of them but will still pay for the other 23 cards without fault!!! I just spent a tad more than I should have based on the fact I was expecting a large check....again not a lie....if I where to receive the money like previously expected I would have kept the 25 cards....SHIT HAPPENS!!!

Looks like I'll be updating my blocked bidder list.....until he changes his ID for the not first, second or third, but forth time in 9 months. Really dude, stop picking your whim of the month as your ID. How about something more neutral? I think MountieWelcher is available.

conor912

Why don't you mind your own business and stop acting like a pissy OLD fart!!!

I paid for all my cards Jesus Lord I made a %$%^$#^ mistake so what!!! Ban me from your list who cares I probably never even considered buying from you anyway...see my feedback on Ebay you nut job it says 100% positive with almost 200 purchases in about 6 months time.

Post # 2

In 15 years on ebay I have never cancelled one transaction. I believe I am in the great majority here. Get your shit together.

conor912

Get my shit together who the hell do you think you are!!!! Spying on me waiting like a dirty leech until I make a mistake you are some scum bag for sure....a really low human being!!! You have no life but to wait till I make a error that is very sick!!! I changed my nickname a few times so what I was just trying to find the right one that I was happy with. You forget I spent 22 000$ a few weeks ago again when ''all'' you guys here doubted me...again you are mistaken.

Post # 3

I don't care enough to spy on you. Just enough to comment on what you write.

Popcorn......check

Soda..........check

Comfy chair.......check

I've been sharing some of these throughout the day with my wife and she just gives a small chuckle and roll of the eyes =)

conor912

Sureeeeeeeee that is why you just could not wait to have a little something to jump down on me you disgusting human being...you are truly human trash!! I had a budget I went a bit over so I cancelled a few cards why because a large check was suppose to be deposited in my account this evening and it was not.

Always trying to ruin my reputation here....kust because a lot here actually like talking to me you are one jealous ^%&!!!

Post # 4

Adrian, this isn't going well for you.

You know you're addicted when you belong to a baseball card forum and read every post about why everyone is addicted to cards.

Leon

Why me Leon some of these guys are trying to make me look stupid here at ever chance they get WITHOUT KNOWING THE FACTS...there are laws against ruining someone's reputation.

Post # 5

I think you are doing a good enough job all by yourself.

I haven't seen anyone tell a lie yet. In order for there to be libel the information has to be false.

Leon

So I guess you are saying they are right and I am wrong!!!!:eek:

I have never tried to attack or disrespect one of your members every day people do it to me so I get pissed off about for once then I am the one to blame.

Oh please don't open that can of worms all over again......please.

Did you buy multiple things lately and back out of the deals?

So I see Saturday we all where OK with each other now you guys want to make me leave this site fine take care!!!!:cool:

Take care Leon thanks for the times you actually tried to defend me I do appreciate it.

For all you haters you finally got your wish me leaving this site. You attacked me and knew I would respond hoping Leon sided with you...I guess you knew better!!!

No, I think folks are unhappy because you back out of multiple deals. The rest of the stuff is kind of amusing....and it's only 15 posts a day so how bad can that really be? But the reneging in auctions is a bad thing...regardless of the reasons (especially if it's more than an extraordinary instance)

Oh you'll be back....

Maybe so maybe not...

Shoele$$

No I will not you guys have to many problems with me and I have had enough.

Just want to say to those who gave me a chance here and got to know me here and threw private messages...thanks it felt good while it lasted!!!

I will continue my hobby in private from now on!!!

good bye.

Can't we all just get along?

Maybe a little breather is what's in order here for you. I think you've burned yourself out after coming in guns blazing.

Personally I would have checked the dumpster first for day olds. A buck can buy a nice vintage Topps card.

Sorry about my last post. I responded to a funny comment without reading the last couple of pages. Didn't realize this thread had gone into the Adrian Zone.

My understanding, as it has been explained to me, is that this is what the cool collectors do anyway.... Keith and Charlie don't post here. Why should you?

I know I'm addicted when I go through and read the entire thread about how others are addicted... -_-

Dang! This whole thread turned into a Nantucket Sleigh Ride.:(

Wait a minute, Adrian bought a 52 Topps Mantle and backed out?? Where and When did that happen??????

I'm with you, Glenn. I was about to watch the latest episode of Castle. This seems more entertaining, however.

Geeeezzzz.....That's almost identical to the one I learned to drive in.

We also took a family camping trip across country in it in 78. I bought 78 O-peeChee in eastern Canada, and 77 OPC in the canadian portion of Glacier park. They'd just got them in!

You know you're addicted when...
 

...you complain to your 8-year old son about purchasing him a $15 Pokemon card, which he desperately wants because apparently it has special powers, and he says, "That's nothing, Dad. You have a cards that cost you $1,000!"

Game. Set. Match.

That is one of the best things I've read on this thread in a while

Addiction
 

You know you're addicted when you have more than half your cards shipped to work so the wife doesn't know about it ;)

...Or when your father-in-law opens up the guest room closet door and accuses you of being a "hoarder"...
