My wife isn't exactly urging me to buy as many cards as I can, but she hasn't minded my collecting all these years because we haven't had to sacrifice anything along the way.

Now, however, that I am "retired" (i.e. my former employer fired my wrinkled old ass as part of a corporate restructuring) that may put a different spin on things. I don't think it should be any different going forward. It might just take me longer to get some new cards or I may actually have to pass up on some I will not be able to afford.

My wife knows darned well what Old Judges look like, but would not be able to tell you what set any other baseball card was from.

My wife is supportive of me collecting cards. I tell her when I'm going to spend a few hundred $ on a card or other item. Now that I have a great job and have extra money for cards. She humors me with that look when I try to tell her about a new pickup. She finally stopped saying "but you don't even follow any sports".

Cares little abouty old baseball stuff. But, she loves going to games.

Indulging myself with latest card purchase: $33

Amount spent at most recent visit to a card show: $200

Wife who supports my pursuits and has come to Cooperstown with me both times I went to the Hall of Fame: Priceless

BTW - my wife is an avid Phillies fan, and also collects.

I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.

Best regards,

Eric

My girlfriend is supportive but would prefer I spent the money on her.

First to note Im 14 so I dont think Ill get married anytime soon. So no one cares about my absurd spending. Since I got a paper delivery job Im losing money instead of gaining but its going for a good cause
