I have a great announcement I'd like to make. This past week my girlfriend for over two and a half years just got engaged. Yupp, a slow down in buying cards for awhile. But, the joy I'll have with her will be worth the wait till I get through school with my Masters degree!

    Congratualtions! Your wedding will be the best day of your life-- it was for me. Though I hear the birth of your child is pretty good as well (I'll find out in 5 months).

    Congrats Jeff. Enjoy the time leading up to the weeding. Although it sometimes gets unnecessarily emotional, it really is the most fun you'll have until the children come.

    Just remember...if she won't support your card habit you have plenty of time to get out!!! image

    The best day of my life was the day I split up with my first wife,
    although to this day I cherish the perfect child we had as a result of our union.

    Just remember to keep everything in perspective ...
    good potential wives come along all the time, low pop cards sometimes remain scarce forever ...

    Jeff,

    Congratulations!!!!image

    A few points to remember:
    Always start these statements with "honey,baby,sweetie",You get my drift image

    1) Baseball cards are an investment and I will always be able to sell them for more than I paid for them.
    2) I haven't bought any cards in a long time.
    3) I have never paid more than $100 for a card.
    4) I just sold a bunch of cards so that I could buy this high dollar card.
    5) I didn't buy these,I made a big trade for them.
    6) For every one that I buy,I am selling two.
    7) I have never bought a card without consulting you first.
    8) I have to go to the National to check out prices and sell.
    9) I'm checking e-bay for (insert own words)and haven't looked at cards at all.
    10) Baseball card collecting is just a hobby to me and I would sell all my cards if you want me to.

    While these statements "might be misleading", in times of serious cards discussions they will be useful in creating a harmonious ending.

    In all seriousness, marriage is a great thing.Just remember,marriage is something that you must work at.And remember,married people statistically live longer.

    Vic
    Please be kind to me. Even though I'm now a former postal employee, I'm still capable of snapping at any time.

    Hello Everyone!

    Thank you for all the kind words! That's one of the many great things about her, she enjoys looking at my cards almost as much as I do. And she always likes to know what card I am getting for my set next.

    Thanks again everyone!
    Jeff

    Well, Jeff, that's great news. Just don't get too excited about your wedding- if it goes anything like mine, you'll be so nervous that you won't remember a damn thing about it anyway.

    Best to you and your fiancee.
