exciting/lucky find

[doodlebug86]

Ok, so I finally graduated from college in December (yay!) upon doing so, I decided I wanted to get a pin to commemorate/celebrate it. After some looking, I found the perfect one. It's a Pluto graduation pin (perfect for me). Sadly, it was an older DA pin, and the only times it popped up on eBay it was $100+. There's one on eBay now for $125. Trading didn't look likely as there are only two people trading it. So I keep an eye out for it, but had decided it was just gonna be one of those pins I was gonna want.. but eh.

Anyway, last week I was doing my regular eBay check and I found something that made me kinda choke. My Pluto graduation pin for $35.00. And not just one of these pins, a set of 3 APs, black, gold and silver. FOR 35.00!!! When the regular was going for over $100. So I almost died and bought the pins, ignoring the imperfection on the gold.
Mostly I'm so happy and just had to share with people who would be excited too. I can't find the APs on pinpics, but I'm just too happy to care.

As you can see, the stamp and the damage to the back of the gold pin. Not really sure what happened. Maybe a hasty patch job? In any case, it was a much better buy then just one regular pin. As far as I know, this pin hasn't been faked.
