My ex wife didn't care. She was insterested when we were first married and would open boxes with me, but then she go to a point where she was no longer interested.

Ok, I'll bite... what does that mean? ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Gotcha. Being a bachelor myself, I guess I dont consider these things. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

You guys are awesome. I'm lucky if I get an hour or two each week to dedicate to cards. Married with kids changes things a lot. I should add that 55-70 hours of work each week doesn't help. Edited on: Feb 9, 2021 - 4:13PM

At 35 (mid-90s), started collecting and not just having cards around..... Through the late 90s, wife didn't care much, she had her cross-stitch.... Other than NASCAR, which I collected, we also picked up boxes of Disney and such for the pre-schooler.... Though the collector part didn't stick with my daughter....
