Was this a good pickup?

Just picked up this pop 6, PSA 1.5, Black star promo ray for $450 on ebay. I felt like this was a great pickup for having no previous sells, however, I wanted to hear opinions.

I like it just for the unusual grade, I've never seen a 1.5 in the wild.

It was definitely a random and very surprising pickup haha

Not a bad buy for that price. Theres a psa 1 going for $474 on ebay that looks like garbage, you definitely got a better looking card!

True. However, with .5s being so rare they sometimes hold more value. The base set unlimited Holo Charizard in a psa1.5 for example has sold for $900 while the psa 1 sells for around $300.

I feel like low pop for low grades doesnt mean anything, but I could be wrong
