Crowning Glory - All Star Patches

OK, I put on Page One of my blog, that I had a lot of things to write about.. well, this is one of them -- I am ecstatic I was able to pick up this card over the weekend on ebay:

It's the crowning achievement of my collection. The one I've coveted for a long time - its so beautiful... I have the same one in the dark blue and I love that too, but ... orange... is one of my favorite colors - plus there's only 60 of these, I think. There was another one on ebay at the same time - he was asking $60 for it. I wrote to him and complained and he said he'd sold another for $42.
I've seen this same one go for around $50... its crazy! Everybody wants you. In orange. ;)

Well, I got you for $15. Because I was meant to have it. I'm thrilled. If you don't think that gets my Scottish blood sliding through my veins like a runaway silver train, then you don't know me. Oh yeah, that's right ~ you don't know me! LOL Well, I'm crazy because I can't afford to do this, but I did anyway and I'm thrilled.

Best of all I think now I can stop. I think I can stop collecting you. I have over 175 different ones - just of you. Hundreds more that are dupes. I will never buy a card of you in that striped clown suit they make you wear now. A person has to have standards after all ...

I think I can stop. I hope I can stop. I must, because I can't afford you, darling.
But it has really been a great few days.
