It was harsh
. Harsh, when relatively harmless, isn't always bad. A virtual wake up never hurts. Coming here to get advice first was more than a lot of people do and was smart. There almost isn't a local show I set up at when someone doesn't bring me over what compares to monopoly money of a pre-war card....I can tell it's fake from 10 feet away, and usually before they hand it to me to look at. That being said it is a little more difficult to tell from scans or pictures (*sometimes) on the internet. Second opinions are always good....
btw, this very well could have been the age old scam of mixing in some good cards with some bad ones.

I stuck to the slabs for a few years until I got more comfortable judging cards myself. Still not great at it but I'm glad I waited.
