- We typically have no problem spending a fair amount of money on a piece of cardboard, and quickly justify the purchase. However, spending the same amount of money on something practical for ourselves (such as a pair of new shoes) involves much more thought.
- Baseball Card collectors (unfortunately) spend more time thinking about cards than sex. Seriously, consider it...other than your teenaged years, what did you think about more frequently?
- We sometimes think of cards as an, "investment." Gentlemen, this is a hobby. Wall Street would probably laugh at this in 2015. Thirty years ago, maybe not so much.
Just my thoughts.

My wifes comment after going to the one baseball card show she's been to -
"I don't think I've ever seen so many fat middle aged white guys in the same place before"
And that's coming from someone who married one and works in computers.
