The one I bought is definitely in worse condition than yours...maybe I'll upgrade some day. But I still love it.
Thanks. I have similar memories - started collecting in the late 80's, and knew about the Brett card - but it was nothing I was going to ever be able to afford then. I never owned one at all actually until earlier this year - I'm 42, LOL.
