T213-1 = t206?

I know this has been debated, as I have read through old forum threads on the topic. I am on the side of those who feel the T213 "Type 1" variety should be included with the other T206 cards, probably including the 1910-12 Red Cross (T215-1), as well. Anyhow, since I collect T206 Tigers and I want as many different backs as I can get, I just picked up my first T213 Type 1 yesterday but I was somewhat surprised at the seemingly low price. If what I have read is true, and the 1910 Coupon (Mild) backs are in the Carolina Brights/Broad Leaf-range of scarcity, I expected this card to go considerably higher. I probably would have bowed out had that happened in the auction but it didn't. Are these cards not all that incredibly desirable... or did luck and timing result in a pretty good deal? (Final price of $137.43, which includes buyer's premium):

Also, what do you think - are T213-1 really T206's that were miscategorized? Throw in a "yes" or "no" vote.
