That's great hearing that you didn't lose as much as you expected. It's always a learning experience. Even now there are so many times that I lost money, it's not even funny. Recently, I saw a card at a major auction house with back damage described as paper loss. I looked at the somewhat small scan, and I thought it looked like scrapbook residue on the card which could be soaked off, and not paper loss. I didn't want to ask the auction house if it really were paper loss because I didn't want to lose a possibly great deal on a card. I won the card, and sure enough there was scrapbook residue on the card, ..... but also paper loss.... I recently sold the card off for something like a $400 loss. Sometimes you get what you deserve, but it's another lesson learned!
