1989 Fleer.......How do I..........

How do I sneak 2 rack pack boxes into the house without the wife noticing? You guys with your 1989 Fleer thread are real stinking idiots! Reading that thread made me want to go out and start ripping. I went to a local store and found he had 2 boxes available so I bought them. I paid more than I would have with BBXchge but I had no shipping and I got them right away. So the question is, how do I get them in the house?
Thanks,
Bob

    I suggest using choraform(not sure if that is the correct spelling) on your wife. This will not only give you time to sneak them in, but also time to rip and sort them as well. Make sure you strip her naked and put her on the bed with an empty bottle of gin. You can then tell her she started drinking and acting crazy and passed out. This will explain the horrible headache she is going to wake up with.

    Good luck!
  • You do it by being a MAN !!!
    And by buying a gift for her of equal value.
    Works for me :-)

    tell her you had an affair.. and you are in love with someone else...

    when she starts crying and punching.. tell her you are joking..
    and you just bought 2 boxes of cards.. and lovingly ask her if she wants to stack the cards as you rip...

    it should work.. no guarantee's
  • Few ideas-

    Set them on the side of the house and when she is in the restroom.....or

    Bring them in and say. "Hey look what a co-worker gave me for free"... or you traded for them at the local shop. No need to mention the trade involved cash.

    Good Luck, post watcha get. Hopefully you get a Ripken on top !!

    No Ripkens on top as I sat in the parking lot after I bought them and checked. I opened three racks and got a black box Ripken. I guess there is no chance for any of the other Ripken versions. I did get a Randy Johnson on top but I think it is the common blacked out vesion. Maybe I should order from Steve Hart and see what I get.

    Great replies everyone. I honestly keep them downstairs in my office and I open them up early in the morning when she's sleeping. I haven't spent enough lately to even mention my purchases. When I sold my Harley earlier this year I bought lots of cards, but I bought her a season pass for Disneyland and a nice Coach purse.

  • When you think she's asleep you go out to the car and get it, when you are about to pass by the room, call out "Honey you want to fool around." That will keep her asleep while you go rip.

  • Divorce her and find somebody who wouldn't give you crap for spending $50 on something you truly enjoy.

    HAHAHAHA!!! So true!

    This is the one that I plan on using. It has a proven track record at my house. I always find it funny that I can't get her to shut up unless I bring up fooling around and then, almost immediately, she starts to yawn and doesn't respond. And by "funny" I mean depressing.

    And the problem is? You're thinking too much. Home alone? Bring them in!
    I just bought a new truck, most of it was done online, and a little via the phone, over the course of a week. My wife had no idea until I brought it home. My son sees me coming down the street and yells out the window, "Daddy, where's your old truck?" That is when she finally caught on. If I hadn't traded the old one in she probably still wouldn't know.

    Go on MTV's Pimp My Ride and have them install custom baseball card storage containers in your car. Big Dane will get it done for you! Then you never even have to bring them in the house.
  • I usually bring them in stored in my briefcase.

    Another option is go to Walmart, buy a woman's thong and put it in your bed near where her feet are at night. When she finds it and knows it is not her's the cards will be the least of your worries. You'll have plenty of room to store them in the storage unit that you'll be living in. image

    Were you debating a little, or was it a case of "mass" debating???
