Jay's answer is probably the most concise one as any.
Is it correct to say that the MAGIE card is the 1st significant
error/variation card in the hobby ?
Ages ago when I was putting together my T206 set, it always
bothered me that I had to pay a ridiculous price for this
variation card. By today's market the $400 I paid for a Vg
MAGIE card isn't too bad. One would say I am bragging, rather
than complaining.
OK, why this spelling error occurred I do not think we will
ever find out. But, what we do know is in 1910, Sherry Magee
had a career year. Check-out these numbers for his 154-game
season:
....BAvg = .331....Nat. Lge Leader
....Runs = 110.....Nat. Lge Leader
......RBI = 123.....Nat. Lge Leader
.....Hits = 172
..SL Avg = .507....Nat. Lge Leader
.......SB = 49
