If you're happy with the card, you did the right thing. While condition
is always an important consideration when buying a poster, if a lesser
condiiton copy of a personally coveted title is the only one you can
find, I say go for it. Display the sucker, love it, let make you happy.
I'm sitting right now surrounded by several laminated inserts from rare
& expensive horror titles. They look exactly the same as their
non-laminated brethren in a frame, and I got them for less than
half-price on Ebay, thanks to the prejudice against laminated pieces by
condition freaks & pinhole counters in our hobby. If you love it, and
the price is right, you go, girl!

Recently, I passed on a fairly rare lobby card that I needed because
it was trimmed. Not just any kind of trimming, but cut neatly all
around the title and stars' names. Never saw anything quite like it
before.
I was going to get it anyway and have it restored but I didn't. Sold
for under $30.
Something similar happened several years ago. I bought a damaged card
and three months later, found the same card in near mint condition at
a little local collectibles' show. It was a bargain, but I still have
the other card (for which I overpaid, much to my shame)
So, I thought that history might repeat itself.
But, I am still having some doubts because the card was rare; the
colors were bright and I liked it.
Any opinions on this would be much appreciated.
