Hi Mike
You are describing the more obvious FAKE's.
The location of the
N in Nat'L....and, the
apostrophe problem were much more subtle. The two Joe Doyle Nat'L
cards that I was asked to examine (which turned out to be FAKE's) were of the more subtle variety.
Back in the late 1980's - early 1990's these types of FAKE's were tracked down to a scammer in the Detroit area.
Actually the 1st Joe Doyle Nat'L card that Joe Pelaez acquired was a FAKE which originated from the Detroit area.
One of our Net54 members did some really cool "detective" work for Joe, and tracked down the perpetrator.
