My Spouse and my hobby.

[Mountaineer1999]

We have 65% totally supportive spouses... That can only mean one thing, she has an expensive hobby too.

Lol.... Congratulations. That's a lot of little people in a very short time!

My wife has no interest and could not distinguish an '82 Kelloggs from a '34 Butterfinger. Thankfully, all three of my kids share their opinions or give the approval that a hobbyist yearns.

My wife and I are both collectors, although she only collects shiny modern cards. We encourage each other to add to our collections. For every card I pick up she can add at least 10 for the same price . Since she's in medical school and we don't get to spend much time together our collecting keeps us looking froward to the 48 hours in the same house, showing off our weekly finds !!

WoW Andy!
We had 5, 5 years old and under! I know exactly what goes on iN a "Diaper Changing Party" Home...

A Year later, when my oldest turned 6, He was Collecting Cards & Changing diapers... He's 21 now and doesn't collect anymore. We still have his childhood collection, but He's developed His Mom's personality towards collecting.

She's Very enthusiastic about it All! However, Neither one of them has looked at a Card iN All long time.

Looks like you have another hobby you like more than cards.

My wife collects old FireKing stuff, and she has been on a hot streak finding these items at really cheap prices.

I do not even keep my cards at home out of fear they will be traded for magic beans.

My wife has a collection of t205s.

Uh, yup. I can only describe my wife as bemused with my collecting. I would guess she thinks it is stupid, but knows better than to say so. She shows horses for her hobby and the monthly feed bill *alone* is over twice what I spend on collecting. Add in farm upkeep, vet bills, and show entrys and my little C-note a month is nothing.

My wife is somewhere between totally supportive and actively collecting.
We often discuss purchases, especially larger ones.
She's been to a couple shows- and was totally unimpressed.
But someone at a party started discussing cards and had a few things wrong like T206s were from the 30's. She corrected them and filled in the correct details including the competing stories about why Wagner was withdrawn.

Well she's an ex gf now...but not because of the hobby.... She was actually very supportive though not interested in collecting....

There's a very old rule that applies here: When you sell a card or cards, have the check sent to your home. When you buy, have the card sent to the office!

Best of luck,
