You have to admit, this is a bit childish ...
<br />
So is collecting little pieces of cardboard of grown men on them. So it's really all par for the course there Pauly D.

Married for 5 years and I'm pretty sure my wife could care less if I did end up taking part in it. <br />
<br />
As someone just stated, it's no more childish than collecting pieces of cardboard with baseball players on it. There are lots of things adults do that are childish and I could probably create a pretty lengthy list of them. I stated earlier that it was kind of corny but I think it's actually a neat little thing the community on this board could take part in together. No harm in that.<br />

My silly little pieces of cardboard hold more value than anything my wife buys.

I think since it has N.J. on it already, why not do it. <br />
<br />
I think maybe it should just get sent along without using the trade system. Who knows, someone might just say "It's not the card I was supposed to recieve...it has writing all over it.." lol<br />
<br />
Can't we just PM the address?<br />
<br />
Should start a thread and for the ones who want to participate, the card will be sent out in order in which they posted on the new thread.<br />
<br />
<br />
For instance:<br />
<br />
I posted "send to me next" on the New Thread. The person before me will send it to me once he recieves it and initials it, then when I get it, initial it and send it to the next person who posted right after me and so on...in order, all the way down the line. <br />
<br />
Maybe even scan the card and post it in that thread to show it off.<br />
<br />
Sounds like this coould be cool and interesting.<br />
<br />
Good idea?

Childish? You are anonymously calling people childish on a sports card message board. Think about that sentence for a moment.<br />
<br />
My girlfriend could honestly care less what I do, just as long as I invest time into her too. It's about having fun. Sports cards are, for most people, a diversion from their everyday life. For a lot of us, it hearkens back to a simpler time. Personally, i've been collecting since I was 6. That means i've been collecting on and off for 20 years. <br />
If you consider this childish, thats fine. I think it's fun. I'm in Chicago on a regular basis anyway. I can snap pictures of the card without any real time taken out of my day. The card can even go out drinking in the city with me and my girlfriend!<br />
