<p>[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 25992291, member: 22377"]This is a bit of a special case. The loss was the entire cost, around $150, but that is due to me using it as a giveaway prize on an Instagram contest I ran. Part of the reason for that was because I could not sell it. While an uncommon fantasy piece, it turned out to be darker than the TrueView photo and the holder came from Stacks with a crack. I might have been able to ask Stacks for compensation for the crack since they did not mention it but I did not think it was worth it (I hadn't had any issues with them before and any fix would take a long time with the current grading/holdering times at PCGS). This was another reaffirmation of not exclusively trusting TrueView photos (one has to consider all the photos available). In addition, I have to be better at not bidding on random items that, while rare, also tend to have little demand. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1653178[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1653177[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
