Remember how wonderfull

Remember how wonderfull I said this was. It wasn't, and I laid it off on another auctioneer to get rid of it. This lapse of judgement was a diaster to the tune of a 75% loss. At this rate I'm gona go broke.

You win some and you lose some Tabby. It seems you've done well lately on your purchases, a bum one was bound to happen. I've met some of the nicest dealers at gunshows and also some of the most "dirty". I've also seen some astute collectors get taken for big coin. At least you're going to suck it up and take the loss instead of passing it off to someone else as "authentic".
