I got this in the mail today. A truely monumental moment for me, and something I want to share with you guys.

It is something that has been continually denied me when I was young. It has been in my top 10 wish list since that time.

It's something that I could not afford 5 years ago. It is rare to find in this condition and rarely less than a couple of hundred dollars. Back in Uni, it was just not possible. In the past few years, I could have bought it, but the KOs were released en masse and I just could not be confident that I was buying a genuine piece.

I chanced upon this on eBay after months of not buying anything from there. I asked the seller many questions about this piece and about where she got it. She said that she got it from a yard sale for $1. It was sold to her by a father who said its something his son had but never opened. With the help of 5FDP (thanks sir!), I was confident enough that it was the real thing.

I needed to attend back to back meetings and attend clients' offices in the morning that this auction was due to end. I could not bid during its last minutes. All I could do was put in my bid 2.5 hours before it ended and pray for a good result. Miraculously, I managed to win it.

Here is what I want to share with you guys - 1984, Series 1, Pre-rub Ravage & Rumble Mint on Sealed Card. Like I said, a monumental moment for me - this has been my holy grail for many years.

(sorry for the long post, I was almost in tears when I opened this and its the first thing in a long time that I opened myself instead of opening with my wife).

You opened it HD?

[5FDP]

Good to see that it arrived safely HD. You're a very lucky man as I've never seen one sell for that low. The only reasoning that I can think of is that people are so scared nowadays with all the KO's in circulation, that they probably thought that it was too good to be true.

You opened it HD?

I doubt very much that he's going to open this
