How much the wife knows about your collection

Doesn't sound like any of the people posting have been through a divorce.

I've been through two and each time it took me down to zero so I had to start all over again. After the second, when I got back on my feet, I started collecting in earnest. My present wife knows nothing about sports (we have been married 30 years) therefore has no interest in me collecting. She collects clothes and shoes and I collect baseball and football. Keeps us both happy.

Thankfully my ex ignored the cards and our wine collection. Can't say the same for everything else.

Mine does. Card sales have paid for our wedding, honeymoon, and 30% down payment on our home. Sold off most of my triplicate and duplicate vintage sets and star cards (mainly newer cards ie: Brady, Lebron, Jordan, Griffey,) in 2021-2022 and purchased a lake house in MO and several hundred acres of pasture grass.

Looking at selling the rest of the duplicates (sets and star cards) in order to get ready to purchase a mountain house in CO once prices cool off in a couple years.
