My wife Collects also. She's not as involved as I am, But the Michael Barrett and Brad Maynard Collections are her's and so Is the 1975 Topps set thats she's working on.

She spends about 1/2 of 1% on-line at these sites, So I do most of the dealing, but she's also found some great vintage flea market finds in the 5 years we've been married.

Looking to finish the sets listed on my site and the following:
2005 Donruss Champions GU
2003 Topps Kanebo
I require scans for any card I trade for.
Also looking for these players:
Michael Barrett
Reed Johnson
Eric Daze
John Elway (No auto or GU)
Blackhawks
I will always consider Vintage in trade from before 1975 , Any sport
DO NOT OFFER TO SELL ME CARDS
If you have less than 10 Trades you must send first unless you can show me great references
If your user name is this color I am afraid I'll have to pass on any proposed transactions at this time.

My wife encourages me to collect. She used to be an avid Pokemon/Magic card collector so she knows where i'm coming from. She's always interested to know if I pulled an Yao Ming's (her favorite player).

My GF doesn't really know. Whenever she's over, she doesn't see my cards because they're all in binders in my closet. I'll have to break it to her that i collect football and hockey cards someday.
