I've been eyeing this card at the local antique/collectibles mall for the last few months. They had it priced at $5.50. You can see that it is in pretty rough shape. I thought that it was priced a bit high so I asked what they could do. It was offered to me for $4.00. I could get a cleaner copy of it on ebay for that. But the instant gratification bug was in my brain. I could have it now. So I purchased it.

I can't decide whether to joke about the Blues Brothers, or the Blue Man Group.
