The last time that I saw this card at auction was about 5 years ago or so and it brought $800. I did not win that card and had to pay much more than that to get this copy. Anyway, enjoy.

Wow. That’s actually the best candidate yet. Tough (short printed?) card of an all-time great from an iconic set.
