I've been blessed with a company car and gas card the past 8-9 yrs!! (very lucky) That's one way I rationalize my addiction. I also have a fiancée who's bought my last 5 pairs of jeans (5-10 year life spans each), all my collared shirts, 2 pairs of dress shoes.. even my boxers! over the past 4 Christmases/bdays (more lucky). Without her to take care of me I'd probably wear only orange Giants tees, live in my car outside AT&T Park, dine at Arcos, and have a trunk full of Goudey's and T (and 2 Banks') cards.. She also governs my eBay browsing with stern looks.
Btw- saw the notes about trimmed cards getting past graders. Any opinion on which graders get duped more. I think very highly of SGC after reading a lot of the old posts on this sight, and cases just look nicer.. But I've got to admit I have a couple funny looking and smallish cards in holders. Not too too worried, but maybe I should be??
