As some of you may know, I am a completist, which means that when I collect a subject, I must own it all. One of those subjects is Brigitte Bardot.
While it doesn't mean anything to most collectors, it does a lot to me.
I've wanted the poster below for a long time, but I wanted it in
mint folded condition (no tears, pinholes and shit like that) and let a couple go by for not being up to par. I finally found it and bought it from a seller in Bordeaux, France, a seller who had 0 Ebay feedbacks. I usually don't pay attention to feedbacks, but 0 caught my eye. It wasn't expensive, like $350, so I was willing to take the risk. Two months went by and I forgot about it. I buy from all around the world and sometimes things take a long time. Patience is key in this hobby. Then
this morning I was checking my Ebay and realized that I had not yet received it. I contacted the seller saying Yo, WTF??? He apologized and seemed sincere. Whatever.
Then
this afternoon, it showed up
Now my big question is, where was it for 2 months??? Anyway, it goes to show that I have to be more patient.
