Default T206 Joe Doyle Question (or "The Uncommon Common")

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Back in the mid '80s Larry Fritsch, who supposedly was the first to discover
the Joe Doyle error/variation, started buying up all the Joe Doyle (NY) cards.
So, for a while this card was somewhat tough to find.

I still do not see too many of them (relative to the other commons). But, to
really answer your question....because of the high value associated with the
Joe Doyle (NY Nat'l) collectors will pay more for the common. A better example
I can give you are Honus Wagner cards. As the T206 Wagner increased in value,
it elevated the value of all other Wagner cards in different sets. Irregard-
less of how available those Wagners are.
