I have not seen another example for sale since...

Chris, you know in your heart you did the right thing. Honestly, had you opted for the Venezuelan Mantle/Boyer, your guilt would then strike you every time your eyes gazed at your card. You'd be stealing from yourself every ounce of what would have been future pleasure in owning that card. Let your memory of the words of the knight from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade come back to you strongly, "YOU HAVE CHOSEN......WISELY".
Wishing you and your wife a most happy and meaningful Valentine's Day!
