GRAIL Major Robin Hood Grail Acquired!
I have been stuck on three pins to go for completist status for Robin Hood for quite awhile. However, last week, that changed. I was tagged in a Facebook post and saw that, indeed, one of my final three pins was being offered for trade!
I immediately contacted the trader, and we finally worked out a trade. That trader wound up being @echoharmony ! We met up for lunch yesterday since we only live about an hour apart and I was extremely nervous about sending such rare pins in the mail.
Behold - My long-awaited Little John Gold Tone! (Those of you who collect Robin know how incredibly rare these are!) In fact, this is so rare that it's the only one I have ever seen in my ten years of pin collecting - and is the pin that is the photo model on pinpics! (listing added by echoharmony herself).
She was so sweet she even included a few zaps for me with our trade!
Thank you so, so much, @echoharmony , for getting me to TWO PINS to Robin Hood completist!
The final two holdouts:
