While Doyle (N.Y. Nat'l) may be a "printer's screw-up" I don't think it should be lumped in with mechanical printing errors such as Nodgrass. I ascribe to the theory (as I'm sure many others on this board do) that the "Nat'l" was added and later removed by design after it was discovered that the player depicted was "Slow Joe" Doyle of the Highlanders rather than "Laughing Larry" Doyle of the Giants. The fact that these variations arise by design rather than as an unintended consequence of the printing process renders Doyle (N.Y. Nat'l) and Magie worthy of separate checklisting.
