So I questioned my wife on a $30.00 purchase....

lawnmowerman · December 4, 2008 4:05AM

for a makeup brush. I said, "$30.00, just for a brush"??

Her reply, "So, you spend $200.00 on pictures of men on cardboard that you just stick in a box. At least I'm gonna use my brush!"

Man I love her

jeffcbay · December 4, 2008 4:13AM

Man your wife rocks... is she married?

lol j/k

My fiancée doesn't complain about my card collection, because I don't complain about her purse collection.

bman90278 · December 4, 2008 4:22AM

+1 for Mrs. Lawnmowerman
Matt, my brother told me this before I got married, "Happy Wife is a happy life"

My girlfriend supports my addiction as much as I could hope. I wish she were more interested in it, but she just doesn't get it. In fact, she doesn't even have a collector's mentality. I wish she had a hobby in fact. I hope one day she'll get into metal detecting with me.

It would be nice if she understood the hobby a bit more though, I try to explain to her what I collect, look for, and what to spend...but I don't think she'll ever feel comfortable enough to help me by purchasing cards for me. Which stinks...sportscards for holidays rocks.

nightcrawler · December 4, 2008 4:23AM

I hope you reminded her that pictures of men on cardboard are vital to our existance???

Humanity depends on Sportscards.

pswebauctions · December 4, 2008 4:27AM

Your cardboard collection will likely be worth something when you sell it. A used make-up brush though.......

I feel your pain, Ross. My wife tolerates my collecting as long as I don't spend the family money on it. As for getting cards for Christmas, that one's easy. You buy them for her to give to you. Sure it's not much of a surprise but you get what you want. Or give her a list of cards that you want that are currently for sale and give her the maximum to pay for it. Then you don't know exactly what you are getting but you know you will like it.

billwaltonsbeard · December 4, 2008 4:31AM

Whenever my wife says something, or even gives me a bad look about a card purchase, all I have to do is point at her purse, her shoes, or any one of the dumb, pointless things she has hanging on our walls.

Overall I do have to say she is pretty cool about it though. I always get her second opinion before submitting stuff. She enjoys pointing out flaws in something other than me for a few minutes.

Does the brush have any collectible value?

IchiroDeported · December 4, 2008 4:50AM

well you can use your plastic slabs for a variety of useful things. coasters, doorjam etc.

SoonerCowboy · December 4, 2008 5:51AM

My wife asked me one day what would I do if I had to choose between her and my card collection. Well, I got very angry and yelled, I'd MISS YOU OF COURSE!!

I've learned to never question my wife's purchases.

She has about $30,000 worth of ammo on me.

Good luck with the divorce, Matt!

lsutigers1973 · December 4, 2008 6:19AM

This morning I explained to my wife how much fun it is to do a PSA registry set of just one player. I was subconsciously trying to get her to start collecting. I mentioned how cool it would be for us to do a Cal Ripken Jr basic set together. I came home today and checked eBay. There are now about 20 Ripken auctions on my watch list.

rube26105 · December 4, 2008 6:19AM

30$ for a brush- blasphamy

Ladder7 · December 4, 2008 6:25AM

It's a big price for a brush... But, a small price for harmony.

Nice job! I've tried to get my wife interested in some of my favorite players. Unfortunately Hakeem Olajuwon and Dirk Nowitzki aren't as pretty as Cal.

lsutigers1973 · December 4, 2008 6:28AM

She's from Aberdeen and went to the same school as Cal so he is her fave.

Stingray · December 4, 2008 6:31AM

I have a brush that cost me $12,000 made from Italian Whale bone, only 200 were made.

Plus, I'm out of my league Chris...luckily she hasn't figured it out yet and doesn't question me or try to dominate me lol. Though, I ask before I spend more than $150. I tell when I spend more than $100. And I don't say a word when I spend less lol.

Had to be an A&G DNA relic card.

I spent $160 so I can spend $1,000 without getting questioned.

It works for me

BunchOBull · December 4, 2008 6:49AM

BunchOBull · December 4, 2008 6:53AM

In all fairness, I own a brush that costs around $100...it's a superfine silvertip badger hair shaving brush...the girlfriend gave it to me for Christmas last year. It's really lifts the hair before a shave...best shave ever.

lawnmowerman · December 4, 2008 6:59AM

Tonya......................Ross just said you have to shave your face

I swear I didn't tell him you had a mustache.

What are you mad???? she is going to kill you for saying her name and mustache in the same post. That 30 dollar brush just turned into a 300 dollar dinner out somewhere fancy that she will make you "enjoy". Wrong move buddy wrong move!! LOL

BunchOBull · December 4, 2008 7:23AM

Oh God. I opened a can of worms. Ladies don't use shaving brushes, they use Nair.

well, eastern European women gymnasts use sickles and flamethrowers.

$30 for a brush? I would have said the same thing Matt! Gotta love Tonya's quick response though!
