Larry - I was watching this card also and found it to be very interesting. As far as it being worth what you paid for it, only you can answer that question. If you enjoy having this card being a part of your personal collection, then I think its worth it.
As far as this card ending up this way from getting wet and being stacked on another card, let me ask this question then.
Why doesn't the color fade out of T206s when they are soaked?
C'mon now...we all know there are cards out there that have been soaked. There is even a link on this site with step-by step instructions on how to do it. In the instructions, it says to place the wet (soaked) card in a folded paper towel. Isn't this the same as stacking wet cards? Does the card image transferred onto the paper towel?
I can't answer these questions because I have never soaked a card, but I own a soaked T206. One of the hazards of buying from a scan and not having the card in-hand. I can say from looking at my soaked T206 that it
doesn't appear to have lost any of it's original color. I'm not saying I'm right, just relaying my experience.
