Is this my fault for not asking. or should i ask for a refund?

    He's got another one listed specifically as a mini. Judging by his grading of the card (fine/good) he's not a collector, or at least not currently. I think he's just a bit sloppy in his listings, and probably sent or listed the wrong card. If you don't want it you'd be within reason to ask for a refund or exchange.
    Haven't checked on modern prices in years, but aren't mini's worth about double?

    griffins is right, maybe not double but clearly worth more.

    You have evry right to ask for a refund in my opinion, As stated, The guy is probably not a collector and got a little sloppy. You may want to send it in if you think it has a chance at a NM 7 or better, I think I saw a Nm 7 go for almost $50 bucks not long ago. If you dont think it is worth the hassle just ask him for a refund, It could bebefit you more if you didnt ask though.

    Thanks for the quick opionions guys. ill just keep now that i see the minis are worth the same or more. I thought the mini's were not worth that much.

    as you can see i bought this card surfing while drinking auction ended really late.. lol

    the scan isn't very clear but it does not look like a 7 to me. maybe a 6. but even with the grading fee, a 6 would not be a bad return. if it's a 5, you lost a few bucks.

    Nice pick up for under $30 IMO.

    The minis are worth more.

    Did you scan that or is that the auction photo?

    Can you give us a nice scan so we can see the corners?

    The card is approaching OC T/B but I think it may sqeeze into the 7 range and will look great in a holder.

    That would put the card - SMR at 65$ Can't believe that used to be in the 200$ range!

    For what you paid? I think ya did good if it comes back a 7.

    And BTW, I recollect - the mini's used to have a 2X factor in the late 80s/early 90s and has been on a decline.

    The guide has them at 1 - 1.5X. But some think they're even up.

    Good luck if you send it in.
