A Terrible Miscalculation

[Mark]

There's a story on Yahoo about a guy who sold his baseball card collection, 20 years in the making, to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend. But she declined, so now he wishes he still had his Joe Jackson card rather than a big diamond ring. Let's hope that nobody here let's emotions get in the way of clear thinking.

MY GF said if she found out I sold my cards for a ring she would slap the piss out of me and say NO till I could save and buy one. Guess my collection will continue to grow as she waits for the question

I'd feel like a horrible person if I had my girlfriend sell her her beloved collection of whatever to buy me an engagement ring. I'd prefer getting a tin ring from the bubblegum machine and let her keep her stuff.

Agreed. I would also rather get something very simple to allow her to keep what she felt was important to her.
