A fine Finnish gentleman ran this one down for me in trade for a rare Finnish issue of another player. I have dealt with so many Europeans, especially Finns, over the years in the building of my collection and they have been amazing people to deal with. I have only seen a very few of these ever, so acquiring this one is exciting and a key addition to my collection. Thought I'd show it here as it is a lesser seen item.

Great story and great pick up, Rob.
I don't blame you one bit for sharing it on every forum you belong too.
I know I would as well.
