I originally came to this site back in 2007 with every intention of selling off my entire collection. I hadn't so much as glanced at my cards in 7 years and figured the time had come to sell off what had primarily been a childhood obsession (with a couple years in my early 30's thrown in for good measure). Within 30 minutes I was hooked again. Not only did I not sell any cards, other than a few dupes, I've since added several hundred to my collection. It's like dropping Charlie Sheen into the middle of a hooker convention. I'm powerless to stop.

Absolutely nothing to add to this thread that hasn't been said already, so I'll just say this is a really great read. Appreciate all the thoughts.
Alright, back to staring at my computer screen.

Why indeed?
This my first post here as I am fairly new to this forum, but not to cards. I think I have that collecting "bug". I collect a few different things, because I have that gene that can't allow me to stay focused on one thing for any length of time. But this is not such a bad thing, since it makes it fun for me whenever I rediscover the collections I've been ignoring. I'm currently working on a 1940 Play Ball baseball set and a 1955 Topps Baseball set. But I've collected comics, records, and football cards for years. When I get bored with the baseball sets, I will go back and work on one of the other things and have fun with those for awhile. When my co-workers ask me why I 'waste' money on cards, I merely tell them that this is what I do for fun. They buy booze, go to strip clubs, go out to eat at fancy restaurants, movies, etc... This is what I do. The difference is, I can usually get my money back from a vintage card after owning it for awhile. That money for the dinner is gone forever...

I like cards too, but somebody's got to help the girls get through college.
