Are we all Type A personalities?

[jake33]

I was wondering last night if msots of us in the GaMe used collecting industry are TYPE A personalities, I can say for sure myself that I am, not only do i clearly have issues but being obsessive compulisive, making 3-5 phone calls a day trying to track down BUCS and D-Rays items, then trying to DVD/photo match the jersyes takes so much time and is a labor of love,

I find it VERY ahrd to believe that there are a lot of TYPE B personalities in this industry just because of the intrusive nature of this. Even when i try to expalin this hobby to most of my friends VERY few of them get it,

They say, "WHAT!!! you paid $150 for a used jersey?"

I usually reply with, "WHAT you married that (explicitve) after she got greased by 15 guys."

Type B's aren't one for getting into large heated arguement (unless it is politics or complaining about their bosses) so the talk usually ends there.

And after saying that about their wives, are they still your friends?

Sorry but what exactly is the difference between a type A and a type B personality in the collecting industry?

I believe Lou would say "overall medium to heavy carnal wear is exhibited throughout".

When i said that to him it was kinda toungue and cheeck, the poitn really is that Most TYpe B personalities are "CASUAL" fans while Type A's are more die ahrd.

Hell I waited 2 hours in February to meet Edgar Renteria just to find out that he never showed up. Beat that!! lol


Also, at every single Braves game I go to. I arrive 5 hours early and stay 2 hours late to get autos in the player parking lot.

So yeah Kyle, you are probably a type A personality. I think most of us are, is all I am saying, which i thought was an interesting common thread

Most definitely, if we're willing to spends tons of money on dirty baseball equipment worn by some random guys, then we're all Type A personalities. I love it though.
