    You know you're a hardcore collector..

    -If you've ever knocked anyone over running through Wal Mart or Toys R Us trying to find the latest cards on sale.

    -If you've stayed up past 11 pm looking through ebay, bidding on auctions....posting on card message boards!

    -If you saved wrappers when you were a kid, thinking they'd be valuable someday.

    -If you've saved card show tickets or card shop business cards, as momentos.

    -If you've chewed gum more than 15 years old (not forced, on your own free will!)

    Drive four hours to a card show, spend more money on hotel and gas than I will cards, just to get a chance to look at cards that I can not afford, but may not have any other way of seeing such cool cardboard!!

    Your wife finds out you spent over a $175.00 framing a old uncut sheet of cards and only $22.00 on the new frame for a old wedding picture.

    You wife finds out you bought one single card for $500.00... But wont spend $150.00 a night for a nice hotel on your anniversary.

    Let me see a new card for the collection... Or the same piece of ass I have had for the last 15 years... Hmmm.

    You have a email address such as.... mrcardsniper@yahoo.com

    Dam I love this thread... Paul

    You record card commercials.

    You bid against yourself.

    Your card is in a slab, inside a soft sleeve, inserted in a page in a binder and you hand it to your buddy to show and say, "Be careful"

    You own a 1988 Donruss PSA 1. Bonus points if you submitted it.

    Seeing a pallet of Fleer sheets on TV excites you.

    Tiger Woods SUV glass pieces in the new UD card is on the top of your want list.

    Your calander and phone has product release dates. Oh and a Post - It on your monitor.

    Your cards have nicknames.

    You pull a hit that would only sell for $>10 on ebay but you still look like Tom Cruise on Oprah.

    To try and rationalize your extra card spending you tell your significant other these are for Tom, my imaginary friend.

    Your imaginary friend gets a credit card soley for cards. Super Hardcore if the dog gets one too.

    Wife says "It's me or the cards"! You tell her we can still be friends.

    You dont buy SP Legendary Cuts boxes. All those cut autos, used to be yours.
