When you hear the word auto you dont think of cars.
You call gu/autos hits, like a druggie getting his fix by taking some hits off of a pipe.

I started my own spreadsheet with collection name, player name, auto or game used, card number and high and low buy values. My wife said I was insane. I told her I was teaching my oldest (8) to learn to use a spreadsheet. He was outside playing at the time.

You cant go grocery shopping without picking up a few packs.
When you are about to buy something not card related and you compare the cost to what kind of cards you could get. ( Im guilty of this one often )

You set your alarm for 4 AM not because you have an early shift but because you want to snipe.
You ask your child's school photographer if the wallet sized can be cut instead to 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches.
