Jon: I realize you answered your own question already, but (to state the obvious) the two problems with the PSA 6 Doyle font are:

(1) the location of the printing at the bottom of the PSA 6 version is not lined-up the same (from the left and right margins) as on real T206 Doyle's; and

(2) the PSA 6 font is simply different -- each letter appears slightly wider than on a real Doyle (this seems most obvious to me on the "D" and the "O").

One would think that such a rare card would be subject to stricter standards at PSA. Joe Orlando himself should be the one double-checking the graders and comparing scans of real Doyle NY Nat'ls before sealing that slab. Really, how hard would it be to send scans to one or two T206 experts, to get their "off the record" opinions. There are a dozen people on this board alone that would have determined that card was a fake from a scan, in 30 seconds, and have done it for free.

Amazingly stupid. And add to that the Polar Bear back, and it is an even more ridiculous mistake (since Piedmont 350 is the only known back for the Doyle Nat'l).
