Your observations are correct. The scan I posted (in post #11) is that of a (Graded) fake Joe Doyle error card.
I intentionally posted this card......to see how long it would take for some one here to identify that it is a fake.
As, the tendency on this Net is to assume that every card displayed in a professionally graded plastic is legit.
And, no Joe....that card is not one of the 7 authentic T206 Doyle error cards.

Nice one Ted! With your great knowledge I kinda' figured right away it was a test or you were waiting for a response. Again...nice one!
I'm not sure if it should be called a fake or an alteration...I vote for doctored.

For those who are new and are are wondering what's this all about
:
That particular Doyle card has had the original name removed and then reprinted as the ultra-rare version, valued as much as a Wagner. To top it off, it was graded a PSA 5 and is included in Joe Orlando's book, "Collecting Sports Legends"...page 43. It was spotted by the legendary Rob Lifson of REA, who wrote about it on his blog. It was a spectacular and amazing catch by Rob!!!
As mentioned before, this type of alteration or doctoring is at the very advanced level and requires multiple skilled steps. It was just a matter of time before one surfaced (but on the Doyle and graded!?!)...sure there will be others. This card doctor was a real pro IMHO but by all means it should have been detected by a grader, if not under a black-light then almost definitely under a halogen. Makes one wonder how it passed through? This should be forever talked about and never forgotten...screamed from the rooftops of all collectors.
