I couldn't resist....darn it!

I had good intentions....sell off cards to save for a down payment on a new house. So I sold over two thousand dollars worth in about a week ...feeling good about saving the money. I couldn't resist the temptation though..the National 10 minutes from my house. It was like the street corner dealer waving drugs in the face of a junkie. At first I was adamant that I wasn't going, but my wife encouraged me to go (what an enabler!) I rationalized saying that the National won't be back to Cleveland until 2012..so I almost HAD to go! Then my wife asks the dreaded question.."How much cash do you wan't me to get from the bank?" Thats like asking a fat kid..how much candy do you want? I said a grand. Of course adding that "I know I won't spend that much, but just in case"
Walking in with the mental set that I wasn't going to buy anything...I was just going to browse and enjoy.........well I couldn't resist.....came home with these...
The National is a BAD...BAD....thing!

Honey, I am SOOOO ashamed. I cannot bear to look at you! Yes, I want a house ... but ... but ... but .. I NEED those Bowman Football cards!
HAHAHAHAHA. Nice pick ups. (Just don't tell your wife that I agree that cards are more important than a new house!)

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Looks like they were upgrades to his collection and he is selling the ones he upgraded.

Either she's an angel or she has something that is making her feel guilty and is trying to butter me up!
