That $200 Ebay lot of old comics taught me a painful lesson

I bought a giant mystery box of comics off Ebay for 200 bucks last month. The seller said it was mostly silver and bronze age stuff from an estate sale. Turned out 90% of it was damaged by moisture with mold spots and wrinkled pages. I spent three weekends trying to flatten and clean them but most are just trash now. The other 10% were from the late 90s and worth maybe 20 cents each. Has anyone else gotten burned on a mystery lot like this or am I just the unluckiest guy here?

My last mystery box was just a box of mystery mold, buddy.

That's rough, hope your next one is better.
