Doyle NY Nat'l and Doyle Ny with same mark on back

[team-of-rivals]

I believe that the OP was referring to the positioning on the original 'printing plate.' I too, thought he was inferring that two cards were the same, one altered, the other not. Clear as mud? Perfect.

What the two cards show is that both the corrected version and the uncorrected one were in the same position on the sheet. So either they made a whole new brown plate to fix the mistake or stoned the nat'l off. The second is the simplest explanation.

The mark on the back will be on every card from the same position on a Piedmont sheet as long as it was produced after the mark got on the plate. Since the error has it it was probably there from the start.

What's cool/important about that is that there will be other players with the same mark. And that means they would be from a different front layout.

Pat has done a tremendous amount of work spotting and documenting these marks.

Thanks for the compliment Steve. The scans came out to small here to show
the marks clear but the Pelaez and Conlon NY Nat'l Doyle's both have this
exact mark as well as a small % of the corrected Doyle's with good enough
scans to tell. If members check their Piedmont 350 Doyle's some should
find this mark on them.
