Sportsfest 1999 and the fake Doyle error......
Continuing from Dan McKee's......."I was there and the dude that sold the fake Doyle came straight to my table
and spent several thousand $$. He was shaking like a leaf, I should have known something was wrong then but
I never saw the card. Alan had it by then and I believe it may have been slabbed quickly."
Indeed Dan, it was slabbed. It is one of the most egregious mistakes ever made in the world of BB card grading.
This particular "Doyle error" card was one of the most amateurish attempts at adding "Nat'l" to its caption of all
the fake Doyle's ever seen. How it got past the grader(s) is utterly mystifying.
This story gets even worse......a big name in the hobby acquires this Doyle, realizes it's a fake, and sues to re-
cover the big $$$$$ he paid for it. His money was returned. But, I'm not sure who ended up "eating this fake".
