Once upon a time there was a kind, and gentle hearted Prince (me, creative eh? 
). All the Prince ever cared for was gaining renown. He desperately wished to make a name for himself among his peers. One day a loathsome dragon (UD Legends) began wreaking havoc on the peaceful kingdom (the card store). The Prince thought that this was his chance. If he could slay the dragon in spectacular fashion, then everyone in the kingdom and across all the land would praise his name! However, being the prudent individual that he is, the Prince asked the Wiseman (card store owner) how best to defeat the dragon. The Wiseman warned “Be careful and patient when dealing with this particular dragon. He is vicious and merciless. Why look at the ruin he has caused throughout the land! The best I could muster from him after many a try (a full case) was a Hull/Mikita dual auto. A pitiable prize indeed!” The Prince could see the look of resignation and fear in the Wiseman’s face. “I will be cautious, but I will be victorious!” The Prince’s brash words made the Wiseman crack a faint smile and he said “Good luck to you, my boy! The whole kingdom wishes you success!”
The Prince finally came to the dragon’s lair. Once crossing the threshold the dragon knew he was not alone. The fell beast spewed a volley of fire (Toronto Maple Leafs pennant) through his vile mouth towards the Prince, narrowly missing him! An evil omen indeed! Undaunted, the noble Prince lunged at the dragon with his sword, but the nimble dragon countered by gnashing his teeth (Cheevers auto 013/125), whipping his tail (Martin auto), and slashing his claws (Hodge auto, P. Esposito parallel 74/75) at our brave hero! The dragon could see that none of his tricks and powers could overwhelm the mighty Prince, so he ran and hid to the farthest regions of his lair. The Prince tracked him for what seemed like days (tons and tons of packs full of base cards) until finally he encountered the exhausted creature. The dragon put up one last fight, but the Prince’s sword struck square and true! The fiend fell dead. But lo! What is that?!? In his twisted claw the dragon clutched to his most treasured prize (Esposito/Worsley/Roy auto redemption #25)! Our hero could hardly believe his great fortune, and he looked forward in gleeful anticipation to the months and months of waiting he will now be forced to endure! And naturally, everyone in the peaceful kingdom lived happily ever after...
