seemingly not like us guys and our cards?

Is it something wrong with them or us or both?

Why do many of them make it feel like we're doing something wrong?

Please feel free to chime in on your experiences.

#2 - Why do we not call it 2022 Panini Mosaic Green Prizms?

Have a great weekend everyone!

My wife has accepted that I enjoy this hobby, though she has let me know that my time could be better spent elsewhere, which I can certainly agree with for the most part. Sometimes, though, one has to declare one's "me time" and enjoy it as one sees fit. Bills, taxes, responsibilities... they can wait for a bit sometimes.

My wife is at worst indifferent about my collection. Sometimes she gets excited when I get something that she is also into (Simpsons, Jackass, Scott Radinsky). But very rarely do I do card stuff when she and I could be doing things together. But I have the benefit of working from home, so I can play with my collection a bit during the day while she's at the office.

Perhaps it is because i have always gone to the extreme, and had a pro set card in every room which may have raised their ires a couple of times.

My wife is very supportive of my hobby. She is always wanting to see my new purchases. She's alway talking me into spending the extra money on cards I sometimes think are priced more then I want to spend. She is awesome like that.

My girlfriend collects baseball cards like I do and we both use this site to log our collection. I really enjoy being able to share the hobby with her!

I guess I'm lucky (or smart). I'm married to a woman who had a collection of cards before she met me, met me while I worked for a card company, and understood how large a role the hobby had then and still has in my life.

Many of our "vacations" together in the late 90s and early 2000s were to Toronto to go to the Fall and Spring Expos. Other vacations then (and since) have taken us to various baseball games and stadiums, PGA & Euro Tour events, and locally even for PGA and USTA events (I haven't gone to the USTA events, but her and our son have gone). She loves sports, and although our favorite teams are not the same, our favorite sports are. Music is what got us to meet, but sports has been more of a central theme in our lives than music (but we still go to concerts together - all 3 of us, including my son who likes "our" music - thankfully).

I feel so bad for people who have spouses who don't "get" their hobby (or hobbies), whatever that hobby is. Your spouse enjoys that, why would you try to stop it? (And yes, my wife has other hobbies that I don't share in fully, but I support her in those 100%.)

You are 1 lucky so and so!

You're definitely both, i thought i would be locking into a long string of horror stories but so far many of yours are positive so far.

That is so awesome to be able to share the same hobby!
