Default "Happy Find" at a FOTL sale

Last Sunday I had a marvelous time at a local FOTL sale. Since brags
don't seem to go over very well any more, I'll call this a "happy find".
I had picked out more than 30 mysteries (all firsts, to either keep or
give to friends) when I spotted what I thought to be a pretty good SF
title...Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game", no nicks or tears in DJ,
square and tight (maybe unread), no PON or inscriptions, not price
clipped, would be fine except back of DJ is lightly rubbed, front is
still fine, first Tor printing, January, 1985. All in all, a pretty
good day.

"I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen"
