Our email server is down again.....so I cannot reply to your lengthy email of yesterday.
So, I will here.....and, I want to thank you for the link to your website.....I was very
impressed with your site.....I really appreciate you sharing it with me.

It appears that both of us started collecting T206's at the same time (1979); so, we've
seen many, many 1000's of these neat cards. Therefore, I appreciate your skepticism
regarding the Joe Doyle "error" card. It has always bothered me that hobby greats like
Jeff Burdick, Lionel Carter, Frank Nagy, Bill Heitman, and many more never came across
this card in all those early years.

Then, suddenly in the mid-'80s three of these cards surface, that has always been hard
for me to "digest". Well....."if you can't beat them, then join them"......that Dan, is my
current thinking regarding this Joe Doyle card. And, indeed in my above stated theory,
I do rationalize how this error occured and why so few cards have been found. And,
this has served to erase my skepticism.
