Default A refresher course on why the Joe Doyle Nat'l card is so rare

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Thanks for the insight on these 7 Subjects and I'm sure that their career's ending played a part
in their very limited printing with the Piedmont 350 backs.

But, having George Mullin to ponder, leads me with this observation. I'm sure we can name some
other players that are 150/350 Subjects, whose career ended in 1910 (or were traded)......that
were printed with the full complement of 350 type T-brand backs.

I have to maintain my belief that these 8 Subjects are somehow linked to the initial printing that
included the Doyle error card.

Perhaps, all 9 of these cards were on the same sheet, and when ALC chose to discard the Doyle,
these 8 were discarded along with the Doyle.
