Ole buddy....I have held, and closely examined four cards of the Joe Doyle Nat'L version. Two of them were REAL, and two of them were FAKE.
Dealers brought them to me to get my opinion. The most recent Joe Doyle Nat'L that was brought to my attention was from Brian Dwyer (then
with SGC) at the Valley Forge Philly Show. Brian wanted a 2nd opinion. Upon close examination, I told him it was a REAL, and SGC graded it.
Anyhow, the two key identifiers as to judging if they were real are the
"N" of Nat'L lined up with the printer's Mark as shown in these scans.
And, the 2nd identifier was closely examining the Apostrophe in
Nat'L. All of the FAKE's (created circa 1990) have the Apostrophe rising above the top line of the Nat'L lettering.
