Thanks for all the replies. I wanted to get some input before adding a story behind the card so the story didn't influence any opinions on the specific card.
I bought this card probably about two years ago. At the time I had a decent amount of money to spend and was doing well with cards in the 50's-60's area. This card was posted on craigslist and was asking for $500 met the guy younger college student type that said he got the card from his grandfather who passed away. Wanted it to go to a collector (which looking back is a red flag imo) and not a reseller type. I think I paid 450-400 not sure exactly.
About a year later money was tight so it was time to "cash-in" sent it to BGS to get graded came back "questionable authenticity". I wanted to send it to PCA but just seems like a waste of money at this point and just need to chalk it up as a loss.
I agree with many you learn from this and move on. I also would hope someone else learns from this as well and I'll be sticking to the era that I am comfortable with moving forward.
Again thanks to everyone with your input and I just about want to rip this card in half!
