The Joe Doyle card is tougher to find than most T206 commons simply because many of the cards were acquired by scammers
back in the mid-1980's in an attempt to modify this card by adding the "Nat'l" lettering to its caption, in order to replicate the
very scarce Joe Doyle error card. Some very professionally altered cards were good enough, in that they fooled the Grader's.
One such graded fake example still exists in circulation with a POLAR BEAR back. To date, only 8 - legitimate Doyle error cards
have been found. The printers caught this error very quickly; therefore, the Joe Doyle error card will be found ONLY with the
PIEDMONT 350 back.






The following is a survey excerpted from a prior thread (Sept 2007) regarding the "printer's mark" found on some Joe Doyle cards.
