Are you asking what is the scarcest error? If so, the "Magie" is not the scarcest, not even within the T206 set. |

The Joe Doyle card with ths "NAT'L" caption next to NY is probably the most scarce "error" card |

doyle story: there is joe doyle & larry doyle...originally they had titled this card "doyle, ny nat'l", but it was clearly the wrong doyle, because his hands were above his head in a pitchers wind-up...so it was mistakenly depicted the wrong doyle...they quickly corrected this flub, by taking "ny nat'l" off the rest of production, mistake fixed, very very rare card created... |

Ted,did you really just say there are "many more than 200 near sets" ?? I know weve had threads asking for sets on the board and we come up with about 20-30 current and not all of them include the Demmitt or O'Hara. I will never believe theres as many as 600 each of them and im willing to bet that between the 2 that 600 is a high estimate. We dont see them that often,maybe 10 a year each but we are also seeing the same ones some of those times,these arent 10 new ones each year. |

Did I say there were 600 T206 sets out there....I guess I implied it by my "5 x" factor. |

Ted,the Magie portrait came from a Carl Horner photo and its the same picture that was used for his w600 and can be seen in the 1906 w601 Phillies composite photo as well. Its very likely it was a spelling error,plus theres plenty of other spelling errors in the set so its not like they were perfect,his just happened to be corrected for some reason |

Ted,Magie isnt the only player with 2 different spellings so they obviously cared some.Off the top of my head,Willett,Mullin,Nicholls and Doolan all have names spelled right and wrong so someone mustve said something. Maybe it was too big of a deal to change Magie to Magee so they left the others. I cant see them mixing up a superstar who had a picture that was used at least three times before with some guy who never made the majors |

This thread started out asking if the Magee error is the scarcest error card in the hobby and the answer is obviously no. There are, for example, a few Old Judge errors that are much scarcer. A Dalyrymple spelling error that was found a few years ago is much scarcer than the Magee. |

Joanne,i said those players have cards with correct and incorrect spelling to prove what i said afterwards as a possible reason why only Magie/Magee was changed and that was maybe they changed the Magie plate and found out it was too much of a problem so they didnt change the others right away,meaning they waited for another card of the player to change the spelling. |

Oh I see. That makes sense - they changed the spelling or whatever on one card, Magie/Magee, realized it was a pain and stopped doing it on other cards. Maybe they only then corrected what they thought were true factual errors - wrong team, player or league, but decided to only correct minor spelling mistakes on future cards. |

It looks like they corrected some of the names and didnt care about others,and got others wrong after being right and you dont even have all of them listed that were wrong.I still say they knew that was Magee because it was a known photo at the time they borrowed from at least 3 other sources.I dont think they couldve mixed up those 2 players when the photo was from 1906 or prior and hes in a Phillies uniform |
