Default Bird rookie purchase

Just wanted to share with you guys a card that as a kid seemed as mythical as bigfoot (im 47). Me and my friends would always see a third of the card or maybe the whole card seperated but never one fully intact. Growing up in Indiana Larry Bird was bigger than life to me as a kid. A few days ago me and wife were just talking and I had mentioned always wanting and not having a Bird rookie and she pushed me toward buying one. Not wanting to break the bank with a PSA 10 for 75,000 I looked closer to my "wanting to spend" budget and pulled the trigger on this one. This is one of the iconic cards from my childhood for sure. I normally do auto's only but this card has always been in back of my mind.
Maybe a Jordan rookie next?

Any similar stories?
