Hey Kevin

Granted, $1200 may be a ridiculously high price for that card.

But, get this straight, that printer's mark is not just a "period". It is the lower remnant of the "N" in "Nat'l" of the Joe Doyle error card......of
which there are only 8 of these error cards known in the hobby.

In the process of erasing the word "Nat'l" on the printing plate of Joe Doyle's caption, American Litho (ALC) was sloppy and did not clear it off
completely. Shortly after, ALC removed this mark and a greater majority of the Joe Doyle cards do not have this mark.

We discussed this back in a thread I posted in 2007.....here's the link to it:

i am aware of the differences. i was expecting that if he wanted to sell it, he would want more for it. that is what i was inferring.

Kevin, they were very reasonable a year ago. Something happened - not sure what, but I'm glad I grabbed a nice one beforehand. I feel the same way about this mysterious 'dot' as I do about the 'nodgrass' and some of the other caption issues people are trying to cash in on.

mysterious?

would it not look like a very clearly printed letter?

i have not seen an up close personal photo myself. is it part of a letter or an ink spot?
