Lithographic printing is not the factor here. Since the original Joe Doyle
card does not have a League affilation printed on it, what some are
speculating is that the lettering "Nat'L" was simply added next to the
existing "DOYLE N. Y." caption.
Of course it was not that simple, it had to have been expertly printed so
that it closely matched the name and team lettering.
