Listed here are the 7 cards of the T206 (Joe) Doyle N. Y. Nat'l variation, that are deemed authentic (original). They are
identified here in their respective collections.......


1.....Senator Richard Russell (he acquired it as a kid in 1910).....PIEDMONT 350

2.....Larry Fritsch (acquired, circa 1980).....PIEDMONT 350

3.....Larry Fritsch (acquired from Bill Huggins in mid-1980's).....PIEDMONT 350

4.....Charlie Conlon (acquired in late 1980's).....PIEDMONT 350

5.....Private collector (acquired in 1987).....PIEDMONT 350

6.....Private collector (acquired in 1999).....PIEDMONT 350

7.....Private collector (acquired in 2000).....PIEDMONT 350



Whatever other Joe Doyle error cards are claimed, remain to be confirmed; regardless, of whether they are graded......
or un-graded.







The Sherry Magie error card, however, is another story. I am surprised that we haven't seen more fakes of this card.
Obviously, the greater difference in $$$$$ value motivates forger's to focus on the Doyle card.
You'd think the Magie card would be an easier candidate for forgery. In fact, one of the best Magie fakes that have
been discovered....was betrayed by it's back. This forger modified a Magee card with a SWEET CAPORAL back. If he
had modified a Magee with a PIEDMONT 150 back, this forgery may not have been detected....as it was that good.


Do not forget....the Magie error card was printed only with a PIEDMONT 150 back.
