    looking at the junk mail, you come across an advertising postcard and cringe when you see it contains a crease.

    you dream about going into a supermarket and notice boxes and boxes of 1967 Topps Wax on the shelf. You take them all to the checkout counter and you are still charged a nickle for each pack. As soon as you walk out the door, with the biggest grin you ever had on your face, you FRIGGIN WAKE UP!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    When you pick up a business card and quickly switch it for another because it had a ding on one of the corners.
  • frankhardyfrankhardy Posts: 8,169 ✭✭✭✭✭
    When reading a book you will not mark in it or fold the corners down to mark your place because God knows that anything printed cannot be written upon or have creases.

    or....

    When the weather experts are predicting an outbreak of tornadoes in your area (and/or Jim Cantore is in town), you load up your car with your most irreplaceable cards for protection because you live in a double wide mobile home.

    (By the way, we made it through ok)

    You drive past mile marker 145.2 on the road every day on your way to work, and think, "That's the ACC code for 1915 Cracker Jack." No, definitely doesn't happen to me every morning!

    You have so many card towers around the house that they call you the architect.

    you have a baby on the way at the end of July and you are asking your wife to wait because they may be running a better special at the hospital in August.

    You are late picking up your child from school because you HAD to get the mail 1st. (Before USPS was in red, mail used to be delivered as late as 7pm in my area).

    Waiting to meet your UPS driver at the door is more important than driving your wife to the hospital who just happens to say "It's time, it's Vadar...I mean, the Baby is coming!"

    You know you are a card collector when.....

    You know the cheapest way to buy bubble envelopes is by 20ft cargo containers and your wife's hobby is making bubble envelope furniture.
    You write your congressman when Paypal announces an increase in fees.
    You write your congressman and consult an attorney on the legality of Ebay collecting a FVF on S&H charges.
    You set up a 5th selling account in the name of your French Poodle Fifi due to Ebay's 1099 reporting on 200/$20,000 in sales.
    You're about to post complaining about an Ebay seller's high BIN prices but then realize it's the account you set up for Fifi.
