How many of you find yourselves in a similar situation?

My wife said to me the other day that she believes I have a problem. You see every time we go to the store for groceries, I always pick up a deck of cards for purchase. She said I needed professional help, sarcastically of course.

Now, I hadn't notice this but later that day I went home and decided to count how many decks I currently own. A "WHOPPING" 120 DECKS regular blue and red bicycles, plus 24 custom decks from other sites. Some opened and others still closed.

My wife has officially prohibited me form purchasing future decks until I go through my entire stock.

Let me be the first to admit this...............................................................
I have an addiction problem....I'm addicted to cards & magic :D

I go through a deck of cards everyday, so if I kept them i'd have around 1500 now.

I can resist buying a pack of cards every time but, yes, I am addicted to magic and cards, during classes I would mess when cards when the teachers weren't looking when we were supposed to be studying.

I have to say that I buy cards often, not everytime, but when I see something different that looks good I'll buy in hopes of some quality...usually not so good...

I want to say I have 50+ decks, that's in the last few months, I am glad that I use a lot of different ones for different effects. Like one setup for bound, one invisible deck, etc etc.

That's a little hard to imagine. A deck a day, what exactly do you do that you end up using up a deck a day?

To be honest I think(or at least thought) most people use around that many. I practice flourishing and magic(or at least have a deck in my hand) for at least 7 hours a day. Plus I use Seconds so it's not that hard for me to throw a deck out.

Seeing that you use different deck for different things, a single deck must last you a long time.

I currently have about 6 regular decks I use for practice and everyday use. I have 10 custom decks I use when I really want to impress and add that extra "umf". All the others are just sitting there patiently waiting to be opened.

Ever since I started magic, I've noticed that I'm usually always fiddling with something. Usually I mess with cards, dribbling them 'til it drives the people around me insane. So when that starts happening, guess what? I start spinning my pen around my fingers.

As for buying cards, Every time i'm at the store I usually spend a few minutes looking at the cards they have (usually there pretty bad ones). Very rarely do I buy them because I perfer to buy them in bulk at Costco (26 for like 30 dollars).

Hi, my names Tyler and I'm a cardoholic.

I buy a lot of cards, if they're good cards, and shop for cards often. If I'm ever even near a Walgreen's, we must travel over to it to see which Casino cards they have, which Bikes, etc, and I usually leave with some. I'm addicted, I admit it.

I am ALWAYS fiddling with something. I can use anything, but I am partial to penspinning. I do it ALL THE TIME (I must be up to, like, 100 rpm or something).

Just went through a pack in under an hour... Then bought 3 to replace it, I've done this several times before... actually, everytime I ruin a pack...
I have a closet packed with cards, most opened and used once... I'm too lazy to count right now, maybe later, once I get some more cards from the store.
