t206 Joe Doyle Error on eBay

[thehoodedcoder]

i got the card today.

i was expecting a flake to be glued on. at first glance....it actually appears that the entire corner has been replaced.

i have to say it is actually quite fascinating how the corner actually is fastened. it almost looks like a magic trick.the two pieces meet each other perfectly, yet they don't come apart and there is nothing on the front or back linking the two pieces together.

unfortunately i don't have more time right now to post a better scan.
i have more important things to do...

i will post a scan this weekend.

one thing doesn't make sense though
the only part that i don't understand is where the corner would have came from. the corner itself is a joe doyle corner it appears, without question. the same piece that is part of the joe doyle also has the natl on it. as ridiculous as this sounds....could it possibly be a repair job? any thoughts on this? the only other thing that makes sense is that it had the natl added to it...but then why call attention to the corner by replacing it?
