I got the card I wanted

Remember way back to last week when I wanted a card so badly, but I didn’t say which card it was.

You know that feeling. You see a card on eBay or on someone’s blog and you think to yourself, “Man, I just have to have it. Just gotta get it.”

That’s how many story begins. I was looking around eBay late last week and all the new baseball cards I wasn’t going to get my hands on. I thought about all the ways my money should be spent until I stumbled upon the card. This isn’t a white elephant type of card. It was just a card I wanted to put into my collection and stare at for a little while.

So, I bid on the first card.

FAIL.

I bid on the second card I saw.

FAIL.

I do have limits. And even though I wanted this card, I wasn’t going to go crazy.

But on the third attempt, I thought to myself that if this doesn’t work I’ll probably give up because the card will be out of my price range.

So, I bid. Left the computer and tried not to think about it.

I WIN!!!

Without further jibber jabber, here’s the card I won:

This brightened my mood a bit. I was disappointed that I was too late in getting Derek Jeter in Mario’s directory. This helped heal the mood.-Sooz
