I personally like the look of this note. On a good day if this was sitting in my LCS I would pay up to $12 for it.
I like the "look" of the SN, albeit the condition is not that great. I have quite a few in my collection which have a similar "look", in much better condition, so I would not have paid that much for, or even acquired this specimen. You paid what you were willing to pay for it to get it into your collection...& that's OK (as long as you don't make a habit of paying that much). I'm probably closer to Sal on this one, but again, my needs/wants are different. If you continue in this endeavor, you will find much better quality notes for less than you paid, but you're OK for now. Unless you are buying to "flip" specimens (you won't make anything on this one), just consider "dollar cost averaging" within your collection, and you can justify just about anything.
