"Compulsive collecting" now an official addiction
Interesting article on a service designed to help compulsive collectors. I've heard about a lot of box-break addicts out there, including kids using their Greenlight card to chase hits.
I don't care about breaks, but I definitely understand that, "Just one more card," feeling. LINK: https://www.cllct.com/sports-collect...s-of-addiction

It's funny that you posted this because I was just chatting with one member on here about card addiction.
The thing about "compulsive collecting" is that no matter how much you buy you're just never satisfied. It's definitely a serious mental health issue and it shouldn't be ignored. A lot of people think that just because they can afford it and it's not going to land them in the hospital, then it's OK (but again, it's not OK!) And it doesn't help that this hobby we're in encourages this type of behavior. The biggest addicts are worshipped by the rest of us. And social media guys only made this worse. These guys are serious addicts themselves who make content of their interactions with other addicts! Sounds funny, doesn't it? But it's true!

My card addict brain immediately asked me: "Does this mean we can get our health insurance to pay our REA bill?" -
