You ever just have a card sit in your watchlist on eBay for so long you felt like you had to buy it?
I did just that recently.
Today's Eli's Cardboard card had been in my watchlist at least a year. I watched the seller put offers out on it every few months and I just continued to pass on it.
But there it sat.
And sat....
And sat....
Looking and tempting me every time I scrolled through my watchlist.
Until I finally had a gift card to use up and the seller once again put out an offer on it. I was afraid if I didn't take it this time, I wasn't ever going to. So I accepted the offer and it came home.
There is a base version, a refractor version /99, a Superfractor 1/1 and this Pulsar refractor numbered to 50. I only own this version so far. I don't expect to ever find or land the Super of this card, so this isn't even a tempting rainbow chase.
Back of the card discusses Eli and his two Super Bowl runs against the Patriots.
Thoughts on my card today and whether you have ever bought a card after watching it for so long welcomed in comments.
Can't think of any really good examples... but I just bought some cards that were on my wantlist for a few years. Technically... it was a magazine with some cards in it.
