Building the leaf set can be a challenge when you start getting into the short print purchases. You basically just gotta suck it up and pay up for some of the common players.

Got this raw in a trade a few years back from a buddy I used to trade with when I was 12 years old. We knew it would only get an authentic designation. I know I could upgrade it but im just gonna keep it as it will remind me how fun it was trading with my childhood buddy.

Love the image on this one!
