Default Sen. Russell's collection incl. Doyle error & Ty Cobb back

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Russell, as a teenager collecting T206's, would not have known the difference. And, my contention is that he almost certainly
opened a Piedmont pack in the Spring of 1910 and found the Joe Doyle N.Y. Nat'l card first. Because the American Lithographic
Co. (ALC) printed Doyle's error card first. He was very lucky to get the Piedmont 350 cards when they were first available. The
ALC caught their mistake very quickly and removed the "Nat'l" lettering from the subsequent Joe Doyle cards.

It will be interesting to find out if Russell's collection has both Joe Doyle cards ?
