I swear I have OCD about my baseball cards all my cards have to be in matching unused one touches and I examine every single card until it can't be examined anymore, if I ever get graded cards i examine them and pick them apart to and have to bust them out of the case so they will match the others. Does anyone else have the same problem or am I just weird.

Yeah I kind of get a weird feeling about my cards to. I always have to look on the back to see where the player is born. :lol:

It's a collecting thing. A whole bunch of us are like that.

I can't stand when people thumb the **** out of the surface of the cards.. like Chris on youtube. His buddy tattoo however is fine and does it just right by holding the cards by the sides. I also get pissed when I see dudes chew on their finger nails and go directly into handling the cards. Just what I want.. your nasty ass slober and dna all over my cards. Good times. And then there was the infamous melbournecowboys guy who thought it was best to keep rubbing all the nasty ******* oils from his big ass nose and face and go right into his ******** of "whos got the Bucs"? ::facepalm::

I'm more OCD about the same word misused TWICE in the same thread for different reasons. Once below and once in the title. :lol:

I've been a culprit myself though :oops:

Reminds me of that Friends episode when Ross and Rachel get back together only to break up the same episode because Ross can't handle taking all the blame in the letter she wrote:

Ross: I fell asleep!
Rachel: You fell asleep?
Ross: It was 5:30 in the morning, and you had rambled on for 18 pages. Front and back! Oh-oh-oh, and by the way, Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E means 'you are.' Y-O-U-R means 'your!'
Rachel: Ya know I can't believe I even thought about getting back together with you! We are so over!
Ross: Fine by me!
Rachel: Oh, oh, and hey-hey-hey, those little spelling tips will come in handy when you're at home on Saturday nights playing Scrabble with Monica!
Monica: Hey!
Rachel: Sorry! (to Ross) I just feel bad about all that sleep you're gonna miss wishing you were with me!
Ross: Oh, no-no-no don't you worry about me falling asleep. I still have your letter!
Rachel: And hey! Just so you know, it's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!
Chandler: I knew it!

That happens so frequently that it is pointless to keep posting every time it occurs.

I'm a little OCD about some things, like...

- "Your welcome" instead of "You're welcome"
- People saying that they are "itching" themselves when they are "scratching"
- "There" being used instead of "their" when referencing ownership

I'm not really OCD about anything with my cards, except that they must be organized by team, and my team collections have a distinct page for each player, in which ever card has it's own penny sleeve before going into the page, excluding if there are two base cards when they share the single penny sleeve, always making sure a "sideways" card is facing the left, even if the writing then appears upside down...maybe a little OCD actually.

My biggest OCD issue is probably when I watch rips on Youtube and see people just grabbing and ripping the packs open, pulling the mylar(?) tight on the corners. Wonder why you always get 8.5 or 9 on corners? There you go.

Use some scissors and preserve that box you just spent $100-200 on. Now, if you're ripping 1987 Topps, that's a whole different game :)

box breaking is no fun with scissors.

I can't stand it when my PC items aren't in nice unscratched one touches. I take all the cards I get from ebay and take them out of the toploader or even one touches that they come in and put them in a new one touch and then in a graded card bag so the one touch doesn't get scratched...

Yep. I do the same thing. I also wash my hands before handling cards as well.

Another thing I can't stand- go watch a few of armyatc22's breaks on youtube. Count how many times you see him pick his nose while busting. WTF?... ::facepalm::
