I think you are onto something. I consider $50 for a card nothing, but will buy a plain $8 burger to save the extra buck for bacon.

You know you're addicted when you save a lot of money for a card you "have to have" in an REA Auction, only to find yourself so impatient for the auction to end that you spend it all on unnecessary cards (usually duplicates) on eBay.

Default You know your addicted when...

you try to schedule all your appointments for the day so they will not conflict with the time your mail usually gets delivered.

or when my 2 year old says "baseball card" whenever he sees a bubble mailer or manila envelope while walking through a store.

Hilarious! My two year old does the exact same thing. He walks to the box with me, gets the mail, then hands me the bubble mailers and says "here dad, more baseball cards". My wife likes to sometimes get the mail and hide the mailers just to watch me freak out.

I told him the truth I was waiting on money owed to me (for medical reasons that I have been fighting to get for a long while now). The money from my coin sale was spent on a few expensive cards and the rest went onto my condo or was given to my brother to wait till my mortgage is no longer closed and I can pay as much as I can humanly pay in one single shot....I can only pay 15% when it is closed per year.

Why do I have to explain myself every time I make a change in what I do? It is not at all respectful of you to come here and try to make me look stupid!!!

Yes I purchased about 25 other cards and oh my lord I had to cancel 2 of them but will still pay for the other 23 cards without fault!!! I just spent a tad more than I should have based on the fact I was expecting a large check....again not a lie....if I where to receive the money like previously expected I would have kept the 25 cards....SHIT HAPPENS!!!

In 15 years on ebay I have never cancelled one transaction. I believe I am in the great majority here. Get your shit together.

Get my shit together who the hell do you think you are!!!! Spying on me waiting like a dirty leech until I make a mistake you are some scum bag for sure....a really low human being!!! You have no life but to wait till I make a error that is very sick!!! I changed my nickname a few times so what I was just trying to find the right one that I was happy with. You forget I spent 22 000$ a few weeks ago again when ''all'' you guys here doubted me...again you are mistaken.

I don't care enough to spy on you. Just enough to comment on what you write.

Sureeeeeeeee that is why you just could not wait to have a little something to jump down on me you disgusting human being...you are truly human trash!! I had a budget I went a bit over so I cancelled a few cards why because a large check was suppose to be deposited in my account this evening and it was not.

Always trying to ruin my reputation here....kust because a lot here actually like talking to me you are one jealous ^%&!!!

Default Addiction

You know you're addicted when you have more than half your cards shipped to work so the wife doesn't know about it

...Or when your father-in-law opens up the guest room closet door and accuses you of being a "hoarder"...

When I buy a card I already have, just because it was cheaper than what I paid last time...

(Hope the train wreck is over and this funny thread is back on track.)
