This is a very interesting topic and the posts have been all over the place - which I expected.
My wife has been very supportive. From the time I first introduced her to my collection (1967), and told her, "Love me, love my baseball collection" she has demonstrated her support in a million ways.
She began almost immediately helping me produce a very minor hobby periodical, Sports Collectors Journal (1967-69); created 8x10 inch logos of the 1950s major league clubs; bought Rold Gold pretzel 3-D baseball greats (1970) when we could hardly afford chicken (29 cents/pound) and tomatoes (10 cents); attended and worked dozens of card shows (starting 1973); and continues to package, catalog and be my bookkeeper for our eBay business. (And I've left out a lot of other hobby-related activities.)
She's the best!
