She's come to a couple of card shows and got a kick out of seeing some of the real old stuff. She even chatted it up with Dan McKee once at a show.

For the past two years, she's bought me season tickets to the Nationals - one seat for me, one seat for her. We have a good time going to the games even if she isn't into baseball all that much. This past Christmas, she also got me an autographed, game-used Bryce Harper bat to go along with the season tickets. How do you beat that?

Hi Jason,
I'm going to show your post to my wife, who is also a Nationals fan, and gently suggest that she is a slacker in comparison to your wife! My wife likes to go to Florida for a couple of weeks each winter to get away from the cold, and she always entices me by suggesting we go to a couple of spring-training games. This year, we saw the Nats' opening-game win over the Mets and their win over the Marlins in their third game. My wife has no interest in my card collecting, but she fully accepts that it's this "affliction" that keeps me going in my retirement years.
Best,
Val
