Did I just screw up?

In any case, I agree with many others that like those low rated cards that look great - which is really the worst case scenario here.

I just liked the card. I didn't see the little mark before I bought it, but when I got it, I thought it was just a little nick that would come off easily. It wasn't writing so much as it was just an errant pencil mark, which is why I tried to just wipe it off. Even with just the lightest of pressure, though, it took a little white off.

Oh well. I'll submit it with the rest and see how it goes. It's still a beautiful card, and one would think it would grade pretty well. If it's a low grade, I won't enjoy it any less, and it would command a premium for a card of its grade. I just want uniformity with my collection, so I'll have to decide on a tpg to do my entire collection.

Thanks for the input, all. If anybody else would like to comment, I'd appreciate reading your advice or input.
