I'm not. It was just an opportunistic pickup which didn't work out. I'll keep the card and go back to collecting what I know.

You overpaid for this card.

Indeed, but I don't believe it was a deliberate ripoff like another poster suggested. This card was among a group of about two dozen T206s in various grades. If he was trying to rip folks off there would have been more than just this card in that condition. My guess is that he bought the lot from a collector that originally bought it in this condition.
I've done business with this dealer for a number of years and he has always priced fairly. When I've spent my bank, he'll let me take cards (including, one time, a NM 1962 Willie Mays) and send him a check later and I've given him money for cards he forgot to bring with him and have him mail me the card. When I see him at the next show, he'll make this right.
