Default Baaad buys

We read all the time about good buys stamp people have made. Some being
better than others. I would like to see who will "fess" up and tell
about a really bad buy..
Back in 2001 I was working on a joint issue of China/Hong Kong/Macau.
I bought the three stamps of the Emblem of 2008 Summer Olymipcs,
Beijing with label attached. I paid less than $1 US for each one. All
well and good until I decided that I would like to have the souvenir
sheet because the label was different. Failing to do any homework I
ordered the souvenir sheet from a dealer, $40.00
Had I done my home work I would have known this was a souvenir
FOLDER...19 5/8 inches by 23 1/2 inches opened up. I got it and have no
idea what to do with it. It is resting in the back of my closet with a
uncut sheet of two dollar bills. Don't know what to with that either,
($36 from the US Treasury and about the same size.)
Two weeks after I received the folder I attended a local stamp show
aand a dealer had the souvenir sheet, $15.00.

Ralphael, the OLD one
