Which one do you think you have?
What's the difference?

Hobby-an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation

Addiction -the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice

[itsdagooch]

I would consider myself a lil bit of both, more with the second

[budmademewizer]

Both

I still enjoy the thrill of busting packs but my main PC has taken over and i chase every card i need and save money for the rare ones.

Its still a fun hobby but it can get to be a bit of a addiction.

use to be an addiction...current product = border line hobby

[titan fan]

little of both but i would say the second one more

[JaxFootballGuy]

I'm addicted, I actually think I need an intervention. I just like opening shiny packs. I stopped collecting trading cards and went to Magic, didn't like the game, just wanted to open packs. Back collecting now... It's getting bad, I think I need to step back or give myself a monthly budget.

I'd say an addiction. I can go for a while without busting boxes/packs (only for financial reasons) but I love opening trying to chase the big hit. I probably would have better odds in Vegas...lol

[gobills2010]

I am always on the brink of addiction. I find myself binging on Ebay and at LCS, then abruptly stopping to try and keep myself in check.

[giantfan270]

I need a 12 step program to get me off the cards!

Just like the others said, I'd say a bit of both, but closer to the first one I would have to say. But at one point I would also say that it may have leaned more to the addiction side....lol
