Yup, I was an early bidding on this, and quickly dropped out with the rising price tag. A very rare, obscure, and tough to find set for sure. You actually working to complete the set? If so, good luck.
Was surprised with what I thought ended up being a very strong price for this card, especially with it being of such an obscure and relatively unknown player as you noted, along with the fact it is altered in some manner. Still, I think it is a very nice, complete example of a card from a truly tough and rare set. Congrats on a super pickup.
