I Blame My Husband For My New Love Of Baseball Cards

Card collecting isn't just a hobby. In today's world, it's a hustle! My husband loves his Major League Baseball, well, anything baseball, really. In the past couple of years, he's become quite the card collector. For the first year, I thought he was crazy. Then I started to understand the hype when I had to buy all things baseball-card-collecting for his Christmas gifts. Nowadays, we practically have date nights with our baseball cards. For me, the best part is the fun of opening a box full of cards from decades ago, a box that's barely been touched and/or has never been opened. The thrill is in possibly getting that one-in-a-million collector's card. I haven't ripped open that dream yet, but with events like this weekend's Card Con, there's hope for us all!
