Judge DredMy wife is pretty hands off. She knows how to grade the cards and she's about as tough as I am. She really has no interest in the cards but she knows when I get a nice one in the mail. She pretty much doesn't ask how much I spend and I don't volunteer the information. It's a nice arrangement. I haven't resorted to stuffing hundred dollar bills into professional journals or books and I don't plan to.
I've had the collecting habit since well before I met my wife and she understands my desires to continue on. I figure she must think that collecting cards is better than collecting other "things" on the side. My prior comment was true and it was an attempt at being humorous so I guess I better deliver another one of my disclaimers: If anyone was offended by my previous comment then I apologize.
I don't think that all women are money grubbing gold diggers in fact I would tend to believe the opposite because my gold digging wife found out I owned an aluminum mine (after the fact) and she continues to put up with my BS.
