T206 Doyle "NATL"

[MVSNYC]

Hi Ted, on the fake ones, even before you would get to the location of the "N", and the apostrophe height...the type face used is just glaringly wrong, and "AT'L" in NAT'L is all the same height...whereas on real T206 cards, the league designation has "AT'L" a shorter height then the "N".

Hi Mike

You are describing the more obvious FAKE's.

The location of the N in Nat'L....and, the apostrophe problem were much more subtle. The two Joe Doyle Nat'L
cards that I was asked to examine (which turned out to be FAKE's) were of the more subtle variety.

Back in the late 1980's - early 1990's these types of FAKE's were tracked down to a scammer in the Detroit area.

Actually the 1st Joe Doyle Nat'L card that Joe Pelaez acquired was a FAKE which originated from the Detroit area.
One of our Net54 members did some really cool "detective" work for Joe, and tracked down the perpetrator.

Of course, Larry Fritch's clandestine operation to find a 2nd Doyle Nat'l after he had discovered his first was a story within the story.
