you did well Martin...beautiful card
Martin, I think you paid a very reasonable price for a card with great eye appeal. The hobby is moving quickly in the direction of eye appeal being paramount to technical grade, and I think that's a good thing. It means hobbyists have more power in determining subjective value rather than an equally subjective grading process.
The balance between your focus and that of many others on this thread is their experience of getting a card where the eye appeal or objective flaws of the card once in hand were much different than what was depicted/described to them. Fortunately that wasn't the case with your Waddell, but that's a very legitimate gripe. See? Common ground. Now can we all move on?
