In March 2002, I placed a winning bid on eBay and snagged a\u00c2\u00a0Three on a Match<\/strong><\/a> lobby card for $105. That felt like a king’s ransom at the time, but I had no regrets. After all, it was (and is) my favorite Ann Dvorak film and how often would I have the opportunity to add any of these cards to my collection? As it turns out, not very often. Occasionally, they’ll come up on Heritage or Profiles in History, which means a hefty opening bid plus crazy buyer’s premiums which has priced me out before the bidding even begins.<\/p>\n

This past March, almost 14 years to the day that I got that first one, I was finally\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>able to add a second\u00c2\u00a0Three on a Match<\/strong><\/a> card to the collection. And it’s a beaut! This is the one card from the set I desperately wanted\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0as it focuses on Ann after she has made the ultimate sacrifice to save her nauseatingly precocious \u00c2\u00a0child. At $136, it almost seems like a steal these days, though I do think that’s the most I have ever paid for an Ann-D lobby card.<\/p>\n

I put\u00c2\u00a0the card away before properly scanning it, so the scan is from the eMovieposter site, which is where I won it from.<\/p>\n
