Classic!

1/ lol have not done this before, but have ended "cuddle time" to go bid on a card. lol Woman... they just don't get it lol

2/ Have spent hours looking for a card... and yet won't take 20 minutes to clean the study.

3/ I have missed numerous auctions on Ebay usually takes a day or two to move on... But there are auctions I have missed years ago that still hurt, as I have not seen the card again since.

Another sure sign is converting money to cards...
Example: My wife got a parking fine a few weeks ago ($85), my comment was "Thats a Larry Bird auto! Dammit!!!"

I am still upset about the parking ticket! lol

I automatically convert money to cards now...

Wife: "I did the food shopping today"
Me:"How much was it?"
Wife: "$450"
Me: "$450?! Jordan auto..."
Wife: "What?"
Me: "Nothing..." lol

Have you decided what you are doing with the Bogut patch you pulled the other day?

motiv8dan · Nov 16, 2012

1. The daily ebay sweeps for PC stuff!

2. You feel sick when you get home and there are no little padded envelopes in mail!

3. You watch You Tube Videos of people opening boxes and immediately buy 2 boxes.

ive found a great site to look up cards il pm it to u now

How I know I am addicted to the hobby:

1. Looking through up to 15 pages of sale threads looking for PC cards.
2. Sitting on the couch looking through my whole PC after I get another 1 more addition to it!
3. Watching about 5 box break videos a day.
4. When I get $20 and I want a $50 card I won't be able to resist buying a $20 card or a few cards instead of saving for a nice $50 card. (this is beginning to change! )
5. Looking at this on eBay atleast 5 times a day: Sports -> Basketball -> Trading Cards -> Auctions Only -> Time: Ending Soonest.

Cheers,
Whitey
