I should have hit the pause button and did research first. Im out $100 (not the end of the world by any means) on what is ultimately a cool piece but not what I thought and not in line with my collecting focus.
Ive also bought cards that I forgot that I already owned.
Share your stories (please) of times you made an impulsive bone-headed decision that you easily could have avoided. It'll help me feel better.

I never bought a strip card before. I bought a Tris Speaker card knowing that if I thought it was fake, I could return it. I held it, looked at it, and put it away thinking it was real. a year later I posted it on Net54. A member told me that the consensus was it was repop. I was very shocked. But lesson learned: get more knowledge before making a purchase. Eventually I got a real one.
