My wife is indifferent regarding it as well. She has gone to the Card Shop with me and just ends up chatting with the owner. She was the Manager of the local Hot Topic and was SUPER into the POP figures for awhile, accumulating 1000+ at 60% off while she worked there. But she is a bit like a goldfish and soon grew bored of them, selling the majority off during the pandemic of '20-'21. When I am asked what I want for xmas and father's day, when the answer is Baseball cards, it is met with eye rolling. But, she always grabs stamps, painters tape and envelopes when I need them. And once bought a Gypsy Queen blaster at the book store for me........
BTW- Blaster was a dud.

Was that in reference to heels, actual running shoes or a general count of ALL shoes? Glad it clicked because 9/10 of progress is their acceptance without it you may as well start looking to see who's coming to buy it off and at what sacrificial price, yup happened twice and it wasn't nice.

I'd like to hear what husband's think of wives that collect cards. For the record my wife liked that I have a hobby. Although she gets on me when I spend too much.

My wife is a crochet junkie as well. Her different yarns take up just as much space as my Gwynn collection!

My wife is on the fence about cards. I've sold some and it helped pay some bills. But even though I have over 25k listed, I have over 50-75k not listed. Could be more than that. I just don't have space to organize. So now my cards are 'clutter' and I'm trying to thin it out. I already have a few thousand ready for goodwill. It's going to take time to make a dent, but it's a slow process.

I hear you, there's likely a huge bunch of us hoping a "Shazam" for cards will happen in our lifetime, something better than those over fee'd
platforms, i get it they want to get paid but fees are THE largest deterrent and they have obviously forgotten the strong adage less is MORE.
It's the clutter we create with our endless stacks that can contribute to their ill will towards our beloved cardboard.

Try out a local ymca, boys/girls club, teachers for your cards. Especially if they are more current sports players.

My wife sometimes goes to shows with me. She likes collecting 2020 Topps GQ and is on the hunt for the autos/variations. And she sometimes comes down to the card floor (basement,lol) and helps separate/pack.
I've have recently found she doesn't like going thru the 90's donruss variations, but who does? Lol

Just have to find a balance. I have to remember that I am lucky to have another human who actually wants to spend time with me.
Also a sense of humor helps. Sometimes when I get cards in the mail I will say something like, "oh goody I got more pictures of men printed on cardboard today!"
Its ultimately up to the individual to determine their priorities in life.
