Cards for Christmas?

[Tim Fritz]

My wife buys me cards just about every year for Christmas and actually knows a few things about what sets I'm working on and what I need. She also has her own ebay id that I'm not suppose to know about. I try every year not to search her activity.

Not sure how I lucked out.

Brian,
Show your wife a T206 card of Walter Johnson, the portrait version. If your wife thinks this is ugly, there is no hope for her!

My wife tells me how much I can spend on some cards and that is my Christmas and we are both happy! She doesn't know what to buy but knows it makes me happy.

I can look at them before Christmas, but I can't put them in the album until after Christmas morning. This year, there should be six.

I just ask my wife to buy me an eBay gift card.

My girlfriend has the link to my PSA registry. For my birthday she went on there, found some cards that I needed, and then went to Ebay and won a couple of auctions. I was pretty surprised to say the least....I didn't even know that she had the link. I've since educated her on what a fair price is so she doesn't end up overpaying. I'm guessing that she might do the same for Christmas. My personal buying of cards comes to a grinding halt around these times so I don't end up with two of the same card....or worst, we bid the price up against one another!

I buy the cards. She wraps them up. I open them. I put in the collecting display room. It's the gift I can look at for years.

Her gift ? She picks out her clothes. I wrap them. She opens them. I look at her for years.

30 years and counting.

It seems like every year I have a few wives/girlfriends contact me through my website and buy things for their significant others. I have found that a few have been given a list of a few items on my website that their spouse/boyfriend had interest in and allowed the giver the final decision as to what will be in the gift--probably so there is still an element of surprise.

Personally, a few years ago my wife (who happens to know all my passwords, etc.) saw that I had won something I had placed a snipe on and before I could do anything about it she went in and erased all record on My Ebay, Gavelsnipe, and paid via check so when I opened the package a month or so later I had recieved an item I had completely forgotten about. It wasn't a high $ item but it was kinda cool.
