Hockey Cards - an addiction?

When can collecting hockey cards become such an addictive hobby that you turn to crime to support your habit? Ask Donald Billing, who was recently charged by the RCMP with fraud:

Police allege that Donald Billing, former Ontario director of Measurement Canada, used his government credit cards to buy at least $185,000 worth of hockey cards at six southern Ontario businesses.

One good thing about the blogging addiction/compulsion is that it doesn't take much money [thanks to cmt for the link].
