I'll be honest if I went to a show and saw a rare T206 variation at the price of the regular card I would not alert the dealer, I'd just buy it. And so would you. It is not your job to educate the seller.
Of course I would buy said card in your example.

I just wouldn't go on a public forum and announce my good fortune to have stumbled upon a seller who "doesn't know crap" before I even made the purchase.

Perhaps a nuance, but a meaningful one.

P.S. I'm sure I'm now on the negative list, but that's OK. I'll wait until cards have been sold to another flipper, cleaned, graded, consigned, shilled, and then sold for the highest dollar before I jump in.
