If you go to their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RobertEdwardAuctions) or other social media sites they post "First Looks" every couple days of items coming up for auction.

I believe this brings the known count to 10. Perhaps more pop up, but I doubt many; any way you slice it, this will always remain, hands down, the toughest piece to completing the 524 set. Also interesting is the grade. My old Doyle was an SGC 4 that I crossed to PSA at a 3.5 (solely for registry purposes). My 4 was highest graded, meaning that this card is now (tied for) highest graded. Will be fun to watch

I bet there are at least several more examples of this Doyle card tucked away in T206 sets that have just been sitting around for a long time. It wasn't a known error and could be easily overlooked.

"several" might be a stretch.

Well there weren't any until someone noticed the addition of Nat'L. It stands to reason that if no one was looking for the variation until pretty recently, they wouldn't always know they have it either. Kind of like how the Cycle Matty T205 error was unnoticed for a long time and then people found out they had it in their collection.

I see via search the first one was discovered in the 80s. But I only heard about this card in the last 10 or 15 years after one came up for sale in a major auction. Not sure how widespread knowledge of it is when it comes to old collections.

If we knew how many Doyles that Fritsch went through, then maybe we could ballpark it.

I wonder how many Doyle NATLs they still have that we don't know about.

We find new stuff all the time; new batches and old collections are constantly entering the hobby. Most of them don't have anything as expensive as a Doyle, but previously unknown things surface pretty much every year

I suspect this card is more prevalent than others in the 'unknown' population. It's less famous, it's a thing only someone who knows T cards would even look for, and it was completely unknown until the 1980's. It's also probably going to be the easiest expensive T card to convincingly fake as one only has to remove the Nat'l and I have little doubt we will see many more of them in 30 years.
