Clearly the wife was given some money to look around for purses/shoes etc.
Then when she ask how much it cost, you say ah?? not much, just a bunch of guys on a ugly card- 20 bucks.
Then you quickly change the subject- I'm hungry, where we stop? Or you need to re-fuel.

Or did you do the deed, and leave her at home???
The TRUTH will set you FREE

Bwahahaha!! Luckily my wife is not a high maintenance girly-girl, although she's certainly not above a shopping spree here and there. She was at home at the time, not left in the car or some other cruel arrangement.

And thank God she doesn't even ask "what" or "how much" anymore... I don't think even she believed some of the sub-sub-VCP prices I was quoting her for stuff that was showing up from ebay back in the day
She's a keeper!

I don't pick up high end cards in BVG holders often but will make an exception once in a while for a great looking card like this. Nice pickup. Assuming you bought it for between what a PSA 7 and 7.5 would sell for I'd say it's definitely worth a cross attempt at a 7.5 or higher. I believe if you declare the value under 5k it's less than $100 to try.

Well, I bought it for 16K because that's what I saw the PSA 8's going for. Did I do bad?

Lol well you better hope for a PSA 8 in that case. Nice card either way.

I've often wondered why in some places, it is against the law to leave children and animals unattended in a vehicle, but it's perfectly legal to leave your wife alone in the car.

leave your wife and dog in the car* for 3 hours or so and see who's happy to see you when you get back.











* slight suggestion of leaving the a/c on is implied.

This actually made me laugh in front of my 8-year old. He asked what was so funny. I told him that he'd understand someday.
