Anson had a nice write-up about the 24 known errors in the T205 set on his website:

https://prewarcards.com/2018/03/12/t...ly-gray-stats/

and number 6 is below:


6. Dolly Gray No Stats

One of the more desirable error/correction cards involves Dolly Gray. T205 cards were unique as they were one of the first sets to include statistics. But while stats did appear on the cards, most versions of Gray’s cards don’t have any.

The error was fixed but few of the corrected cards are out there and even low grade versions of them are hundreds of dollars.



The no stats Gray cards are available in five backs (Honest Long Cut, Polar Bear, Sweet Caporal Factory 25 Black, Sweet Caporal Factory 42 Black, and Sweet Caporal Red), while cards with stats are available in just Piedmont 25 and Sovereign backs.

So the ones without stats are more common. I know I have two without stats, but none with stats...I am usually quite reluctant to pay a premium for a variation.
