A Question to All T206 Collectors?

You guys are touching all the nerves.

Now let's take a look at the Doyle Error.
Here's a T206 "T" card that was caught faster than the Magie Error.
This card was not a misspelled name, it was an entirely wrong league.

When they discovered the error, what they did was go back to the type setting on the old monster of a printing press, and they removed the obvious error, the type indicating "Nat'l". ... then they stopped short. -- They didn't do the right thing by inserting the type indicating "Amer."
Why they omitted to do that, I'll never know, because it only takes seconds.
What they caused in effect, by doing a semi correction of the card, was create a not much talked about error of omission card.

If you look at the semi corrected Doyle NY card.
It's the only card in the entire T206 set that looks lopsided, or off balance.

As a youngster in a Jr Hi school in 1945 NYC, I worked with an old printing press monster, and it scared the hell out of me.

But if anything, it helps me understand an error from a variation.
