Several years ago I picked up this bargain box Joe Doyle. When I got home and looked at the card closer, the bottom of the card is scratched, right where the NAT'L would be on the rare card. I also see what appears to be some printing. Maybe some kid in 1909 knew this was a mistake and scratched it off? Maybe a modern collector tried to make this appear like the real deal? I shared this card on the board, and discovered that the back would be correct for the rare card, but all agreed it wasn't the real deal. My son in law put the damaged part under a microscope and took a picture.
