Default Baseball cards are like.........
Baseball cards are like:

Girlfriends: when you first get them they are awesome, you want to show everyone, and you take special care of them with lots off attention.

Then you can't decide wether to keep or sell, if its really as attractive as you thought, and 90% of your conversations with other people don't even get a mention of them.


What's your anology guys?

Baseball cards are like:

Old socks - even when you get holes in them you still keep them around.

Similar to the original post but not quite the same.

Baseball cards are like girlfriends (before I was married). They are exciting to chase, but once caught, the excitement wears off.

Baseball cards are like girlfriends: No matter how much I want a certain one and put all my efforts into getting that one, once I get that one all I can think about is the next one that I want.

Baseball cards are like high end hookers. Nice to look at but you will never be able to afford most of them.

Default Baseball cards are like my wife...
I've tried to concentrate on only one, but there are so many tangents involved its hard to tell from one day to the next what I'm looking for/watching out for/can afford.

Baseball cards are like girls, the nicer they look the more you have to pay for them.

The difference is that once the initial "buzz" wears off you still have a cool piece of cardboard.

For me, cards are like automobiles. When I go to resell them I always get less than what I paid for them. Thanks CarMax and Ebay!

Baseball cards are like.... The hottest piece of ass you ever saw, but some guy, some where, has had enough of her shit...

Sorry for the bad language, but this was the words of wisdom my great grandfather gave to me many, many years ago. That, and: "Grandma is always right. Even when she's wrong, she's still right." RIP, Gustave Golit!

Baseball cards are like bad lawn chairs... They don't support the weight you put on them.

Beat me to it!

I'd say baseball cards are indeed like girlfriends. When you first get them, you can't stop staring. You gaze at them lovingly, and can't keep your hands off of them.

Baseball cards are like my grandmothers couch, we cover them in plastic and never physically touch them again.

Baseball cards are drugs.... It's not that "I" like the cards, it's just that the cards like "me."
