For some reason I've happened upon lots of extremely nice cards of Parisian buttons lately. I purchased many and lusted after others. After what I've spent on buttons just in January, I fully expected these to be way out of my price range. They have many of the qualities that many collectors look for. Full card of Paris buttons? Check. Cardboard card still intact? Check. Near mint? Check. Pink? (always a popular & highly sought after color) Check. Bird design? (also very popular) Check!

I fully expected to shell out into triple digits for these, & yet, I didn't. Not even close. It's the thrill of the hunt, and when that hunt ends in a screaming deal, it's a high like none other.
