a card you really wanted for years?

Ok all of you card addicts out there. Has there ever been a card you wanted for years and then it came up for sale in auction? Except for 1 picture of 1 Fergusons D381, with coupon, I had never seen another card with the coupon on it until 2 of them on ebay. Scott Gaynor had 2 of them up (yrs ago)and my snipes were about 4x of the prices going into the final minute. I got out sniped on both. I had haggled with the consignor ever since he won them but we never came to an agreement. He wanted considerably more than this went for the other night. He said he had also spoken with Larry Fritsch (RIP) and Larry didn't have any Ferguson's with tabs...and he was a big D381 collector. I was hoping to get this D381 Ferguson Bakery for a heck of a good price but lo and behold it went for about what it did when I got out sniped on it years ago on ebay. Unless someone got really, really crazy I was adding it to my collection. Anyone else finally get a shot at one they had wanted for years?....Also, this is a good comparison of the 1 line of Fergusons caption versus the 2 lines on the Fleischmanns. Finally I can add this one to my collection.....best regards.. your happy collector...
