One time I was at Target with someone who needed to get a college graduation card for someone and I told her "I'll be in the card section" and she said "That's where I'm going too..." and I said "I mean baseball cards"

Your family gives you gift cards for card shops and ebay becuase they know thats where the money is going to go.
You lose respect for someone who you let see your cards when they handle them like a can of corn.
Your wife asks you a hour ahead of time where you want to eat or tells you were leaving becuase she knows you're going to run through your seaches and boards atleast 10 more times before you gett off the computer, you get up and get ready.

Never done this, but know of a few local yokels who have...
You meet up with someone in your area to make a deal on some cards - and you bring a loaded handgun with you "just in case".

When your mouse clicking finger literally goes numb for 2 days from hours and hours of searching EBAY listings for PC items or trade bait. Actually happened to me last week.

Saw a commercial for the show Storage Wars and they showed a 2 second clip of an autographed card and I immediately identified it as a Pat Burrell Auto. BTW, that show is awesome, if you've never seen it check it out.

When you go to your PO 3 times a day during the work week just in case they put a package in your box. I stop there before I go into work, at lunch, and before I head home.....and yes...I realize I'm addicted.lol
