Ted:

David is dead on about "caveat emptor"; I think we all have people in the hobby that we avoid for reasons of integrity. I also think that most of us have probably gotten burned by overpaying for a card we didn't know enough about. There are a million sets out there, and it's tough to know about all of them.

However, try not to let it cloud the fact that you were happy with the transaction when you made it. You got a great card, you were happy with what you gave up to get it. If you overpaid for it, so what? It's a Black Sox item, so chances are good that it's going to stay in your collection for a long time. By the time you sell it, you'll get your money back.
