A small percentage of the regular Joe Doyle cards have a small "printer's mark" on its caption exactly where the "N" of "Nat'l"
was originally printed.

I posted a thread on this back in 2007, in which this mark was discussed and we arrived at the conclusion that in their haste to
erase the word "Nat'l" from their printing plate, American Litho left this mark. Shortly thereafter they removed it. I ran a 4-year
survey of Joe Doyle cards....upon sampling 364 cards, only 22 of them had this printer's mark (6 %).

Anyhow, here is a scan of Joe Doyle with this printer's mark......
