Cannonball!!!Anyone who has searched Listia the last few weeks has seen this gem at the top as the key card of one of those tiered daily escalating mega-listings. Every day for three weeks it was there just staring at me, taunting me with all its beauty. Now I did not have nearly the credits necessary to win this, but I took a chance and sent a message to the winner right after the auction ended and asked what his intentions for the card were. I was very polite yet direct, a method I have championed before. After a little give and take, and a slight bit of drama, the winner of that big ass listing decided to sell it to me. As you can see it arrived today and I am overjoyed. Proving that being polite and direct works, the dude told me he let me have the card (and even better, at my price) because I was enthusiastic and honest with him; I wasn't going to flip it on eBay, I really wanted the card for my collection because these are two of my favorite players of all time. And I am quite grateful for that. Plus look at that thing, it is glorious. After I take it out for dinner this evening, we will spend the night watching TV and snuggling, then I will tuck it in before bed. I love it that much.

Oh dear Lord that's pretty!
@William - I know you like that left side better than then the right, but that's okay since I like that right side better than the left. But much like a Reese's, they are two great tastes that taste great together.
That is a sweet card. Would love to have it in my collection maybe one day
Very, very nice. I should try that some time. Now what do you have listed?
Awesome card, Congrats!
Nice pair of patches!
Sweet card!
