...you spot letter-number combinations like "N172" on license plates, and your body pumps endorphins to your brain, your eyes glazing over like some sort of cardboard stoner.

you are only half way through the first day of your vacation & you have already bought 9 T206s with possibly 2 more in the wings.

1) You try to figure out how to get your son's TeeBall photo cards graded by PSA or SGC in bulk, coerce them into creating Registry Sets, taking the top 10 spots, and then begin auctioning them off on Ebay.

2) You realize that the money you just spent on cards would have been better used in fixing something around the house, or perhaps paying the electric bill

3) You try paying for groceries with 1986 Topps Traded Barry Bonds rookie cards

4) You know the name of Jack Graney's dog featured on the Cleveland T200 card but can't recall the name of your newest nephew. -or your own dog.

when you crack all your certed cards out of the holders to be an "old schooler"
and laminated the cracked holders together 72 high using them as a decrative high tech fence between you and your neighbor!

... your bathroom reading material isn't the paper, but the T206 Chance Yellow Portrait you just got in the mail. Not that I'd know.

when you have separate email folders for all your different venues of buying cards i.e. Ebay, Net54 BST, Lelands, Mastro, Brockelman & Luckey, Huggins & Scott. You get the picture.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You know you are a card addict when you know what pages of the current Beckett Almanac and Krause SCBC key sets begin on.

You know you are a card addict when you participate in contests to identify cards from small parts of the pictures.

You know you are a card addict when you are making attendance plans for a future year's National.

You know you are a card addict when you show off your collection of old price guides.


BTW, Marc, considering what happened to Doug Million, naming your kid Ten Million is not recommended.

You know you are an addict when you can't stand being at work because your wife (or husband for a few) just called and said your big Mastro boxes just arrived at home. I am no good the rest of the day at work.

You've got a plastic figurine of Joe Orlando mounted on your car's dashboard because he saved the hobby.

...when you wake up in the morning and realize you dreamt that a major auction house inadvertently sent you someone else's cards in addition to the cards you won.


And that someone is a specific person from this board, who I don't know personally, but who had posted a great card that they had won in a recent auction the day before I had that dream. I think this officially qualifies as coveting.

I'm pretty sure that, in the dream, I was contacting that person in order to get his cards to him, but I may have just been contacting him to set up visitation rights.

<<When you replace your pinup girl calendar with a pin up dealer calendar, Barry Sloate dressed up like cupid laying on that hart shaped bed is great, Leon like the Easter Bunny is not bad either. However I could do without that half naked Levi Bleam spread…>>

this sounds like foreshadowing- I'm sure the Wonka "Dealers of The Hobby" pinup calendar is already well in the works.

Your PSA 9s are no longer good enough and you start buying PSA 10s.

You buy a handful of 9s to upgrade from 8s so you can move from 10th to 9th on the PSA Set Registry

1) you are violently opposed to Cobb/Cobb back being part of the T206 set and you feel strongly that T213-1 is part of the T206 set.

2) you know what I'm talking about in 1).
