T206 Doyle NY Nat'l in REA

[Joshwesley]

Thanks.
The reserve is 100k?

Lord.

Would anyone rather have this over a plank?

I love cards as much as the next guy... And have spent some money since gettin into the hobby but I just can't wrap my mind around spending 6 figured on a piece of cardboard.

I would rather have this than a Wagner. I just love the back story on the Doyle.

Of course I can't afford it, but when I do spend a large amount on a card, I justify it by saying that I can get my money back when I sell it. Hopefully these cards will continue to appreciate.

Some people simply don't understand... this card is the equivalent if there were 6-8 Derek Jeter rookie cards.. where he was listed as playing on the Mets.. then fast forward 100 years.. and in the year 2115 we are searching for those 6-8 jeter cards where Jeter is listed as a Met vs the normal Yankee..

the Doyle Natl error is a great card.. i have never seen this card sell for a loss.. expect big numbers on this one.

Joe Doyle (he of the 22-21 career W-L record) is not the dead ball equivalent of Derek Jeter.

Correct, this was a average player being mistaken for a non HOF star that shared the same last name.
I closer analogy would be a David Rollins card being mistaken for Jimmy Rollins.

I agree that this is a cool card with a nice pose to boot. I don't know that I take for Slow Joe over a nice Wagner because that card is so iconic, but I would have to think about it for Plank.

For those of you that don't like this one, do you also dislike the Magie?

Magie is special because of corrected misspelling of name, OF COURSE. However, there are, what, around two dozen other misspellings (including poor old Harry Lentz/Sentz, who isn't even close) ........... so why only Magie/Magee ???


Doyle is a classic, but I'd be happy at 523

I would much rather have a Wagner or Plank. Those guys are great Hall of Famers. This is a variation of a common. There was a thread a few moths ago, show your cards rarer than Doyle. Cards posted there sell for a fraction of this card.

Yeah...........I'd take the most beat up Wagner their is over this Doyle.

The Wagner is the entire hobby.

Understanding, of course, that most of the folks that own a Doyle already own a Wagner. They're completists, and money is often not an object.

I can't think of (m)any collectors who could only afford one of the cards and chose the Doyle over the Wagner

[e107collector]

After the reading the auction description in the REA preview, does anyone else find it strange when they list the other known examples? It states that a BVG 4 (VG-EX) exists, previously in a SGC Authentic holder. Odd??

Anyone have any info on this?

You rarely get a chance to buy a Doyle. Wagner's come up about twice a year.
