....you spend an hour sorting and putting a $4 set into $20 worth of card sheets.

Others? "You might be a collector if..."

You spent four hours the past couple days sorting a couple thousand 'worthless' 90-91 Hoops to get them ready to enter into your Collection and FS/T lists here for trading.

If your crazy enough to devote 4 rooms to the hobby 

You buy a large pallet of baseball cards at auction, then buy the majority of baseball cards at a store closing.( 10s of thousands)

...you always have a list of your needs and wants handy.

Of course, before I found TCDB that was all managed by pen and paper.  I had to create checklists for each set and then put them all in a 3-prong folder which was always in my car (or suitcase, if traveling).  Thank you TCDB (and smartphones) for making that WAY easier!!!

You restart the same thread about being a collector that we had, like, a year ago?

You finally find that perfect birthday card for your wife but you put it back on the shelf because the corner is dinged

You check out TCDB more than 4 or 5 times a day like I do ? 

Here's that post from last year:

You Know You're a Card Collector When . . .
