Talking Pulled a Mickey Mantle "Finest" auto! 1/1

Long story, so please bear with me.

I go to my local cardshop this morning looking for a bargin. The guy has 1 box of 07 Finest left from a case that he has bought for his own personal break. He told me that I could have the last box at his cost, as long as I broke it there so he could see the pulls.

I usually won't open something at the shop, cause the break just doesn't have the same appeal to me when I can't share it with my wife and son.

I pull some really great looking refractors, and some average auto's in the first 2 mini boxes. When I get to the last mini box, I pull a 1/1 Mantle cut auto! The cardshop guy is really upset with himself for selling me the box. He started getting kinda rude with me, telling me the card was rightfully his! He demanded that I take my money back, and he keep the Mantle! I'm telling him, NO WAY! After all, a deal is a deal isn't it?

The shop has about 5 or 6 customers there that are now just watching this shop owner act like a fool. Everyone's telling him that the card now belongs to me, but the guy just won't listen.

I finally put the Mantle in my shirt pocket, and make a dash for the door! I just left all my other pulls lying on the counter. The shop guy jumps over the counter and grabs me at the door! He's on the floor at this point, and has hold of my ankle and starts pulling my leg! Yep, that's right, he's pulling my leg-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------












Just like I'm pulling yours right now!

Happy APRIL FOOLS DAY!----I know I'm a day early, but I wanted to be the first to get ya! ~ "Nail"
