"In reading the other post about the Rosen-SGC-Keith-Doyle fiasco, it says that Fritsch has 2 of the known Doyle T-206 Nat'l variation cards, and they are in excellent condition. Is that excellent according to him (making them about g-vg, or vg-ex), or according to someone else? lol"

If you're a T206 collector at least get it right.
What makes the MAGIE a Magee error?

Right, ... there you go, I knew that I could count on you.
Someone spelled it MAGIE.

Not a skipped color printing sequence but an actual spelling error.
Which is why they call it the MAGIE error, and not the Magee varation.

Skipped color printing sequence usually cause varations.

In the Slow Joe Doyle case, the error was created when they misplaced the New York Highlander's Doyle in the wrong League, ... the Nat'l League.
Confusing him with Larry Doyle of the New York Giants.
This was a greater error than the Magie misspeling.
We're talking about an entire league error.
It was caught faster than the Magie. ... thus the scarceness.
What boggles my mind is why didn't they insert the correct League in once they found the error.
It would have only taken seconds.

DD, I've had the pleasure of seeing one of Larry's Doyle's in I think 1987.
From what I recall, it was a very very decent grade.

Let's face it DD, you can have 45 Wagners, but if you don't have the Slow Joe Doyle error. ....
We're not talking about grades here. .....
We're talking about any grade that you can get one in.
