When was the last time you looked at your cards?
Before the internet I used to look at them over and over, admiring them, sorting them, resorting them...well you get the picture.
Honestly, nowadays I just get them in the mail once in a while and they sit in my truck until I remember to bring them into the apt. The they go into my "cardroom", and then about once a onth I go in, take them out of the bubble mailers, maybe replace the sleeves and toploaders and place them in their designated box.
It's sad that I see my cards mostly on my photobucket, and not in real life.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, well I have no idea. Sometimes I think the cards themselves don't mean as much as they used to because of the internet.

I still look at mine all the time. About every day. My base and stuff I have for FT usually just sits there, but my PC stuff I reorganize, make sure its still safe, and just look at them. I take a gander at my bucket too, but I usually only do that when I happen to be reorganizing my actual bucket. I think, in my case, I still go to look at my cards because the closet I keep my cards in is right next to my computer. So why would I go to my bucket to look at my cards when I can turn around in my chair take literally one step and then be sitting in front of the real things.

About 10 minutes ago. I am in the process of resorting around 11,000 cards because I've decided to change the way the PC is organized. It will take me a couple three months most likely, so I will seeing them at least every couple days for awhile.

I'd say I look at mine 3-7 times a week depending on how busy I am. Sometimes it is easier to view them online if I want too.

Only if it's rare, one of a kind will I look at it frequently or set up a display in the office room for it. Otherwise, everything else is "too common" to admire in hand every day thus places like Photo bucket makes it great to quickly glance at it if need be. Of course, that is just my opinion.

About twice a week. They're all in a big box in my closet, so I don't take them out unless I have to.

I just got to go through my vintage collection last night with my fiancee who was very interested in the cards. Got to talk about the values and the players. It was great.

Whenever I'm in my living room I'm always looking at them. Have them in display cases on the wall.
If you aren't that interested in your cards anymore maybe you should start trading up your collection. Get rid of 10 low end cards for 1 high end card for example. Do that on eBay. I'm starting to streamline my collection and try to keep trading up when I start getting too much to display. Cards have to be on display in my opinion. Thousands of dollars worth of cards shouldn't be stuck in boxes out of sight and I'm sure we all know it doesn't take much to have a few thousand in cards.
