You related the Fritsch/Huggins stories perfectly. I remember
them well. Now, let's think about this entire scenerio, why
in 1981 a single Doyle variation suddenly surfaces after how
many 100's of thousands of T206 cards spread over many various
collections over many decades ?
Then just 6 years later a 2nd card appears. This whole scenerio
defies all the laws of probability. And, being an engineer, I
fully appreciate statistics and probability. And, how many more
have been found since 1987....not too many....about a handful.
And, then the really strange coincidence of two "walk-ins" a
few years ago at the show in downtown Phila. A real Doyle that
was acquired at this show by Levi Bleam. A fake one that was
acquired by Alan Rosen (but it was graded, nonetheless).
Then Rosen sells it to Olbermann. And, Keith turns around and
sues Rosen.
Hey guys, you can't make up this stuff....its surreal.
Sorry, this entire scenerio these past 25 years regarding the
Doyle variation is just to "mysterious" for me. I was content
to consider my 1st T206 set complete without Doyle. Now, that
I am only 18 cards short of completing a 2nd set, Mr. Doyle is
definitely not on my wantlist.
