Am I torturing myself?

Isaac,

Congrats on the upcoming wedding...It's not torture to still just "look"...Heck, I still subscribe to Jim and Richard's upcoming sales emails....I would consider that torture in itself....LOOKING AT THINGS I MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO BUY!!!

Not sure why but it is a fact...on average married men live longer than their unmarried counterparts. Therefore, you will have more years left to buy autographs.

That's because wives kill their husbands very slowly...kinda like putting a frog in a pot of cold water and then turning up the heat

You can still "collect" information, even if you're not buying anything now, and that can help you to make a more informed purchase down the road when you do start buying again. It doesn't cost anything (except time) to build exemplar files of players you're interested in from scans posted online or to track prices for particular signers. And projects like your scouring and compiling of Hunt's monthly auction histories should help keep you busy until after the honeymoon as well.

Just because you can't spend money in the hobby doesn't mean you can't continue to learn, and taking a break to further build that knowledge base may actually be a plus in the long run.

And by the way, congratulations on the upcoming nuptials!
