You know you're a card junkie when you

Wake up every Saturday and search the Internet for card shows. Then, when you see any sign of a card show within 50 miles you hop in the car.

when your wife can explain to guests the differences between e145-1's and e-145-2's then gives you "the look".....

This a good one...LOL

When you hope someone knows what your license plates mean

When you have 2 stashs of cash for buying cards. Small that the wife can find and raid, and the big well hidden one just waiting for the next good B/S/T post.

To funny Ted. I almost bought a 66 T-Bird this summer. Great minds think alike.

When your hands shake as you fumble to open that envelope holding your latest acquisition(s).

... when there are far too many prior posts on this thread that feel eerily familiar.

great thread, thanks for starting and for all the others for chiming in...

When you look at the business card someone just gave you and wonder what it might grade.

When you give your girlfriend an engagement ring and she gives you the Ty Cobb T206 she's been waiting 2 months to give you.

Or, When you give your girlfriend an engagement ring because she gives you the Ty Cobb T206.

Also, assuming that's a true story...Congrats.

Wow DoubleJ that is very cool!!!! Congrats on the card and engagment. Welocome to the board was well.

Thanks. It is a true story. I forgot to mention that she picked the red portrait because red is for love.

LOL Ok now that went to far and I don't beleave you anymore :D Just kidding good luck with the marrage and the card collecting! Just FYI collecting cards is way easier :eek:

She probably picked the red portrait because he is looking away. Tell her you want the green to let her know you have your eyes on her.

JK - congrats.

When you go from zero credit card debt to owing thousands.

When the painters are supposed to paint the inside of your house while your at work and you take your collection to work so no theft risked.

When you open up your checking account statement and one whole page is transfers to paypal for buying cards.

This would be my dream. I just did the former... waiting for the latter now :D

DoubleJ

Cool story true or not.

As I recall, your name was in Saturday Night Fever.
