Baseball card wives

Baseball card wives
I like to think that I have one of the coolest wives out there. Not only does she tolerate my addiction to cards, but she has learned to have fun with me when I bust open a box. The best thing happened recently when her uncle came to visit and he asked about my collection. She was able to talk about every card that I have and how important they were to me. It was pretty amazing to hear her talk about the hobby like that. I think I might have to buy her her own box soon. Do you guys have any cool wife stories or are you a cool wife?

yea... and I quote... "it's just a freakin piece of cardboard with an illegible signature and pieces of a bat/shirt that you will never know were really used by him [referring to the player]!!!!" that's her favorite phrase :/ lol

I don't have a wife, thus no story, but your wife is surely awesome. Congrats!

My wife is a big Yankees fan, likes busting packs and has a nice collection of Yankees autos.

Back in '07 we opened a few boxes of Topps Traded. She was looking for Joba rookies. She opened a pack and pulled the Elsbury SP. I saw it and said "That's like a $100 card." She could have cared less, her only comment was "You can have it, he's a Red Sox player" and tossed it to me.

She may like cards but her commitment to the Yanks trumps all!

Wish i could say my wife likes to talk about the hobby. As i write this i can see her eyes rolling. She doesn't mind me collecting but would rather alphabetize the pantry then listen to me talk about a nice pull or getting a PC in the mail. "Another bubble mailer, GEEZ"

+1 on pantry albetizing. Its funny my wife busted a couple box's with me before my son was born and we both pulled a Tim Lincecum auto! Hers was the short printed version!

My wife of 16 years tolerates my collecting at best. She is very concerned that when I pass she will be left with thousands of dollars worth of cardboard that she won't know what to do with. Every time I show her a pricey card and tell her what it's value is, she lets me know what else I could have for that amount of money. My Mantle card would pay off the truck. My Mays card would pay for a tropical vacation. My Bonds game-used would get us a new tv. My Clemente rookie would replace the sofa and my Koufax rookie would cover the property taxes. Not fun discussions.
I collect Hall of Fame baseball player cards and cards of current and retired superstars.

I have a cool boyfriend who is happy I collect baseball cards instead of purses or shoes.
Looking for numbered inserts of Manny, Nomar, Pedro and Mo Vaughn (Thanks jbel4331)

My wife isn't into sports and has no clue about my card collection other than what she hears me say and to be honest I prefer it be that way..

RE: Baseball card wives
My wife hates my card collecting, many a conversation about what we can spend the money on instead, but she tolerates it becauses she knows i enjoy it. She even will bring my home a blaster box every so often.
