OMG, OMG, OMG! I am so excited...I never ever thought I would get this pin, but it seems it was destined to be mine lol. I am so happy and over the moon about it. She is so beautiful and has become a permanent fixture in my Sleeping Beauty collection. I love her! Here is what came in the mail today:

 
HUMMANAHUMMANA!!! THAT is a beautiful pin ^_^ It is a Jumbo, right? I'd also be curious to know how you attained the pin, I'm not so interested in the seller, but when someone gets a grail, there is ALWAYS a very fun story to boot and with a grail this nice, I'm all ears to hear it ^_^

If you have time and can take another photo, would you mind taking a photo of the pin next to a quarter or something (or a ruler) I'm just curious how big the pins is
 

Ok I will give you the scoop I think it was about a month ago or so, I saw this pin listed on ebay for $799 and I thought yeah right, that person is crazy lol. Then two days ago another seller listed it for $300 less than the previous listing and had a OBO attached to the sale. As soon as I saw the listing, I was freaking out because I felt it was being listed for a more reasonable price in my opinion. I felt like I had to act now or someone else was going to snatch it up. The seller and I went back and forth with best offers and counter offers and we finally agreed on a price and I bought it. What's funny is that I vowed I would never spend more than $100 on a pin, but when I saw her, I couldn't resist the temptation lol. Now she has a permanent home next to all her Sleeping Beauty pin friends. And per your request I took another pic next to a ruler for you.
 
Wow AND you got her for a great price. That is a good story. I think in order to be classified as a Jumbo, a pin has to be 3" in either width or height so that pin would be a jumbo lol I was just curious since that set is beautiful, but per my no-Jumbo collecting rules, I'm glad I don't have to add those 4 impossibles to my Wants haha xD
 

Yeah, I think I got her for a fair price too. I love the entire set too, but I think it's going to be near impossible to complete. It doesn't hurt to dream though lol.
