Default T206 Prices... Article by Buck Barker

Posted By: Red

Can Bob Lemke add anything to my recollection of another side story about the Doyle? When Larry discovered the Doyle he wanted to have the card added to the checklist for the T206 set in the guide. The issue came up of not knowing if what he had was unique from some sort of proof, or if he did in fact discover a new very rare regular issue card. At the time for it to be recognized as a "real card" and worthy of being listed in the guide as a card in the T206 set, they needed confirmation that other's existed and it wasn't just some printer's proof scrap. So the Doyle buy ads started and the search began to find another card like his discovery piece. Another card was found and they had what they needed to add a new card to the T206 checklist. The unissued Collins is an example of a "card" that never made it.
