Victory! - Patience IS a vitrue!
 

I finally landed a card that I have been after for almost a full year!
I decided early on that I wasn't going to buy any of the BIN listed examples of this one, and that there was just noooo way that a nice example should cost more than $100.
My resolve was tested, but I was very happy to net this one for $72 last week.
Anyone have any similar "moral victories" lately?

nice!
 

your excitement is infectious! "im biding tonight!!"

Glad ya landed it. Its a great looking 4 to boot.

virtue
 

congratulations, Jason.
what a great acquisition---truly worth waiting for!
also many thanks for waxing philosophical---quite refreshing!

best,

Thanks Barry,
 

Waxing a bit philosophical comes easy to me with this hobby, as I find it difficult to otherwise rationalize spending such money on little pieces of cardboard showing images of grown men who play a kid's game for money!

But the reason for my joy here is that this is one of the Monster's "Prime Aesthetics" Subset that I am assembling. I find this one to be one of the set's more interesting images, given the fascinating combination of the subject's physical abilities and limitations, the rich green background, and the artistry captured within the scripted team logo on the jersey...that and he sent Muggsy to the hospital!

virtue
 

Jason, very well said and I wholeheartedly agree.
The Monsterian aesthetic is unrivaled and your choice(s) continues to
prove this.

all the best,

barry

Yes patience is a virtue. I'm still waiting for my victory on a couple of short print T205's
