Kinda ok?? All my future girlfriends will like ZO, or else they're gone.. hows that for priorities?? *jokes jokes*
(My mum knows nothing about bball but she likes ZO cos he's my favourite!!)
my hubby is cool with it, cause mostly its my money that i spend, he's not really into the collecting side, and as for games we watch them together, we met around our local bball association and at school and he was dating a friend that is a couple of years younger than us, so i had known him for a while before we got together, oh his fav plater is AI

Well,Tracy & I have been together for about 22 years now,Married for almost 17.She has never collected herself,Not cards anyway.
Until recently.:shock: She loves the old cards & oddball stuff
.
It's cool because it will round out our entire collection in a way.
Not good for me
,She send's all our cash on her stuff,not much left for my patch's#-o
I suppose she has some catching up to do
She is catching pretty quickly

I think that's pretty cool tho mate.... I hope to be so lucky to share the hobby with someone heehehehe
as opposed to being nagged for spending all my dough on cardboard....
Actually I always say the way to my heart is through either a nice Rider I don't have, or a box of cards LOL
None of this flowers and candy crap!

I am a strong believer that people should always maintain a sense of independence - both financially and personally. Failure to do this, in my experience, inevitably results in the relationship going stale.
I would rather not share any of my hobbies with a partner who has no genuine interest, other than to "make me happy". It doesn't make me happy, it makes me cringe. I would much rather my partner spend this time doing something she actually enjoys.
Financially, I see no reason to make it my partner's business what I do with my money (above and beyond meeting shared financial responsibilities).
Go The Pies!
haha good posts guys! My missus actually nags me to get back into basketball! I used to play rep but haven't shot hoops for a few years. As for cards... I am on a tight leash here buddies! Only trading or cheapos for me! Although I have talked her into getting me a box for my birthday BTW it is gonna be my first ever box bust! CAN'T WAIT!!! Oh and yeah when I first got back into collecting again.. I was trying fo figure out whether to finish some base sets I abandoned or just chuck them on the heap. She talked me into finishing them.. so they are 'her sets'. Everytime I get a mailday she goes... oh good. Then I gently tell her it is for 'her sets' and she lights up and hurries over! She doesn't give a toss about the other maildays lol

clarkescards said:What about cards shaped to look like roses??? (Althouth it may be a waste of cards)
Complete waste of cards. I am not a huge fan of flowers, at all. Though if someone went to the effort to destroy a few crummy basecards to design a rose made outta cards... I'd almost be flattered by the effort lol
Well, I'm a bit older and as such, had to make decisions relevent to life in terms of where I spend my money. Given that, I sold off a lot of my high end cards about 18 months ago. I held on to a couple, but 90% went. This came as a result of my missus wanting me to, the fact we were building another house and needed some good cash flow at the time and I suppose the fact I was a bit over it all.
She doesn't mind me watching NBA games and so forth... it is part of the package that is me, and hell, she watches tripe like Big Brother, so she knows the door definitely swings both ways. We went together to a couple of games a few years back when in the States and she enjoyed it.... but she just doesn't get into basketball much
And I suppose I have to accept that.

Great replies guys!!! Very interesting how we all have different or similar situations.
Wayne: You have very good points there! I mean, there's no sense forcing yourself to like something for your other half if youre not sincere. But it can still work.. like man, my fiance is getting into the playoffs.. and she has cable TV overseas so they can watch the games live. She's bombarding me with sms saying how great LeBron James is and how crazy game 5 was... I was so jealous LOL. But I can really see the sincerity that she is very interested in getting into it because she wants to enjoy what i enjoy doing. This can't work with everyone that's for sure.
Haha and how easy would it be to make AJ happy? Just give her an uncirculated card of a T-Wolve for your anniv and you'll be smiling all day aye? Hehe.
I doubt any of us are addicts anyways. We just love the game. No die hard crazy fans here who sleeps with cardboard cut outs of their idols and locks their partner inside the closet while games are on...
Well except maybe Mavsman. LOL!
