Ex-Wife Auctions Man's $200,000 Baseball Collection
From the News Section of: http://www.voyeurweb.com/main/Main.html

TUSCON, Arizona -- A woman whose husband spent $200,000
on baseball memorabilia took revenge - by divorcing him and selling
it on eBay.

The husband, 42, told his wife, 45, they couldn't
afford kids or a house, and even took money from
her bank account to add (baseball items) to his collection.

The divorce judge ruled she can have the rare baseball
cards and caps, and she is auctioning them online,
according to news media reports.

The couple had been married for 17 years.
When asked about the auction, the wife
said: "I'm giggling."

-- Holy Strike Out, Voyeurwebbers! It sounds like this guy got
caught looking at an inside fastball and never even swung at
it, hehehe! Meanwhile, his wife managed to knock one out
of the ball park. It wasn't just a grand slam, either, it was a
200-grand slam, hehehe! There's also an important lesson
in this story, Voyeurwebbers: ***If you're hobby becomes
your life ... it's definitely time to get a new hobby***. -- Igor

Yeah, I'm single and that's one of the many reasons why. Marriage is for
suckers IMHO. It used to mean somethng many, many years ago but womens
mind set have changed to much it isn't worth it now. I've seen FAR too
many marriages go down the toilet for my money.

A guy walks into a bar, sits down. Tells the batrender "A round of
drinks on me!"

After getting hs drink, the fellow next to him asks "What's the
occasion Pal?"

"I'm getting married tomorrow! Now I'll be able to get laid any time I
want!!"

The other fellow says "Funny, but that was the reason I got divorced!"

My wife never had to work for my hobby. Before we married we
discussed it. I had been a ham for years before we met. I told her
that I was an Amateur Radio Operator for years before we met and I
would be one long after she's gone. If she couldn't accept that, she
would have to move on. Likewise, I never tried to discourage or
change things about my wife. Those things a person likes and
dislikes, or their hobbies, etc, are part of what makes them the
persons they are. I believe that if we take those things from a
person, there will be a hole in their life and they will no longer be
the person we met and fell in love with. Of course, it is different
if that person changes hobbies, etc. on their own, but it is not good
to take it from them.

To include in their budget, support for each other's hobbies is not a
bad thing, but to break their budget over any one hobby is not a good
thing. My wife never went hungry because I bought a radio.

I'm glad I'm one of the many exceptions to your rule... With your broad-
brush view-point, I would recommend that you avoid marriage entirely
because you're already stacking the deck against yourself.

You are certainly an exception and up to about 20 years ago marriages
usually worked. But you folks know as well as I do how many **** the bed
in the past 20 years. You all know PLENTY of them.

I hope it lasts 20 more.

Thanks. I understand your attitude. Don't give up though. It really is cool
when you find the right one. If you do get lucky, make sure you /she or
somebody can cook. The first thing to f--k up a home is bad food!! ;)

When I went to Raymond Juinior College (welding classes,night times on
the G.I.Bill in 1973) I know a guy who was there and at his home,he was
restoring a 1955 Chevrolet car.One night at College,he said his wife
sold that car of his for $50.00.It was enough to make a grown man cry!
