Peter,
I really don't think it is deceptive to say nothing and just sell the card. I actually had a somewhat similar situation when I acquired a dozen overprinted scrap t206s several years ago. I did disclose all of them on this website with scans and later ended up selling some of them. It probably did affect the price negatively but I didn't mind -- I am a collector and don't really collect to make money from it so I thought the find was really neat and I disclosed all the cards. But if I was not a collector and I just wanted to maximize profits, I don't think there would have been anything unethical about just giving one to an auction house.
