Maybe it's my ocd but I'm afraid of damaging anything I touch. When I borrow something I believe in returning it in better condition than when I received it. My magazine and books at home are kept in a place that protect them, (kind of).
It makes me sick to see the condition of the 1983 cards that my sons and I collected.
I enjoy looking at a nice card in a slab or top loader but not one mistreated.
My wife says that I need help
. I would tend to agree with her.
