Joe P.The Joe Doyle card, the one that looks off balance at the bottom, the one that we refer to as the common one, technically speaking is an error card also.
An error of ommission.
It is apparant that the Doyle league designation error was caught faster than the Magie name spelling error, thus the super scarceness of the Doyle card.
Having set type for a printing press many years ago, I can say that correcting a setting would not have taken very long.
I have no idea why the incorrect Nat'l league designation on the Doyle card wasn't corrected to Amer.
Which was a common practice on the T206 set for cities that had a team in both leagues.
The change would only have taken seconds.
Thus an error of commission, and one of omission.
Two errors anyway you look at it.
It's a known fact that Chesbro thought very highly of Slow Joe, but neither of them would ever think that his card would be the toughest in the T206 set.
