You know you are a card collector whenever you see something cool printed and immediately think "I wonder if that would fit in a top loader?"

You know you're a card collector when you can only remember the specific year an important life event happened by connecting it to the cards you were collecting at the time.

"Hmm I must have graduated high school in 1996 because I remember pulling Topps Mantle inserts out of packs..."

Oh man, I think that EVERY time!

No joke I thought about this the other day. Flashbacks of me talking to my parents saying that it was Fleer and they must of taken the F off the sticker.

You also know when you spend time , sometime lots of it, looking for variations because a print dot , period , font variations etc.

... when you see 2015 Bowman card "mockups" of 2015 MLB draftees that are posted by Bowman --- and then notice the twitter user is a guy with the last name Bowman and not the Bowman Cards twitter account who I guess were sleeping during the draft when it is a time for them to shine promoting the upcoming Bowman Draft product.
