If anyone were to interfere with my enjoyment of baseball card collecting or anything else for that matter, I would not take kindly to being dictated to. That being said, my wife's well-being comes first in my priorities. No bill has ever gone unpaid because I over-spent on old cardboard. Our financial security, present and future, has never been compromised because of my filthy, disgusting habits. My wife is a saint. She is supportive of my collecting because she knows how much I enjoy it. She knows I spend big bucks. If this guy is using Junior's lunch money to buy T206s his wife has a right to be concerned. If he's sneaking VISA and eBay purchases into the house it's true cardaholic behavior. But if she is going to order him to stop buying cards and otherwise get all
habuts their marriage will soon be circling the drain. QED and end of rant.
