My wife wants to know if there are any baseball card widows out there. Crazy thing is, my wife started me back into cards again. LOL

Widows, desperate housewives, women scorned...all selling their men's collections.

Now being recently married..and having an incredible wife (she actually like to do shows with me)...I'm actually starting to see the signs of it myself!! lol

She comes home on Saturday to see me in the living room sorting my PSA order that just came back...1015 cards to be exact. In the otehr corner of the room was a stack of 6 boxes...3 big flat rate boxes and 3 full sized cases of cards. That was mail call seeing I had been away most of last week. YES...it took up most of the room.

Signs she's not liking it these days:

A) "So how long before these are in your office, hun?"
"Yes, I know that's a huge stack of 10's....but when are they going online?"
C) "you're going to have to call the trash guy..the garage is getting cluttered with all your boxes"
D) "what do you mean we can't go to Eastern States Fair tonight...what else are you going to do?"
E) "what's your plans for tommorrow?

"Let's see...with all that came in...sort....pack..scan...start auctions...answer emails...and try to flip 1000+ cards.. my plans...ummm maybe I'll cut the grass"

YES....let's say I got the cold shoulder the rest of the night!!! lol

"When are you moving your card towers?"

"I can't even see the coffee table."

"How many of these little brown PSA boxes do we have in this house?"

"How many of these little brown PSA boxes do we have in this house?"

"Can we break down all these little brown boxes and atleast get rid of the clutter?"

"NO...are you crazy...they're worth their weight in gold"

"Why...they're JUST boxes?"

"Because we need them to transport cards to and from shows..AND I use them for mailing orders with multiple cards.."

"oh...then you deal with them...atleast put them where no one can see them.."

Sounds the same in every household huh.....lol

Bruce, stop your crying and stop trying to sell the other house, keep it for card and box storage, and keep the bedroom empty as you will soon find yourself sleeping there. As said in fun!

All of you guys know excately what im going through. With the late night, when you just recieve a nice size psa order and your sorting through it, the wife always haset to ask honey when are you comming to bed? how else are you suppose to reply, you know you are like a kid in a candy store and just dont want to stop looking. I always reply I'll be there in a min and hopefully she will fall asleep. Then i sneak into bed. Always in the morning she will ask what time did you come to bed? You reply shortely after you asked. Then say I tried to wake you up but you looked so peacefull i couldnt. LMAO

Well, she grew up with her father dragging the whole family to card shows, watching him spend 20K a pop on Mantle cards, so my meager collection and what I spend pales in comparison.
