(I'm an AFL collector, but, same difference...)
When you should be studying for the exam you have the next day, but you just CAN'T drag yourself off OzCardTrader! (ie last night...)

When you set your alarm to some awful hour of the morning so you can get up and place a bid on a card.

Done that

 

[rhysjsolomon]

a) When every possible minute u have the chance... U use ur smart phone to access Ozcard or eBay just searching for that PC steal!!

b) when people associate you with collecting that they buy u cards for bday presents!!

c) when you get so excited about cards and receiving mail, that u create videos and music parodies about them!! (Yes... That was me!!)

d) cracking down and studying scammers ways and ratting them out in a self made video documentary to save the hobby and other collectors pockets!! (ie... Finest Proof Scam!)

e) using auctionsniper.com to bid on cards for u, so u don't miss them!! Even though it costs!!

f) I LOVE THIS HOBBY!! I wish I never left!!

when you want to go postal on the postal service for ruining cards by denting the boxes they are sent in.... and going NUTS waiting to talk to the person that sent them to come online to see what can be done....

[khouzza]

Had this thought run through my head the other day when a card came up that I really wanted but couldn't afford it....."I'll just buy the card and pay the electricity bill next week"

 

[Awoj21]

Awesome thread!

I know I am addicted cause:

1. I lie to other people how much I spend on cards.

2. I justify a purchase to myself by saying "I just wont by that coffee today" etc

3. I have 25 card selling/trading sites I scan for PC cards daily

Also, reading all these posts makes me want to open my own rehab business for card addiction! (Patent pending LOL)
