Doyle on eBay

[donmuth]

I was hesitant to start yet another T206 thread given all the threads lately, but this auction got my attention as it showed up in one of my saved searches e-mail notices.

Paper loss where NAT'L should be. SC 350 back - right or wrong?

Other thoughts?

It looks to me that someone sent a Doyle in to PSA to be graded, got it graded, then somewhere along the line someone worked their way into the slab and swapped cards. I think that is somewhat more likely than PSA completely missing the paper loss, or rub. (somewhat... not definitely).

Someone should know how and be able to get that number off of the slip, and see what card PSA thinks it is... I'm thinking a normal Doyle.

This listing was very funny and quite entertaining to me. 99% sure that the lister made a mistake (or is trying to intentionally mislead) ... but there is always that 1% chance that someone decided to ruin a $250k card and turn it into a $250 card.

Hope that someone doesn't pay too much for this "error"

The one spot where it would have the Nat'l happens to have paper loss??I would think PSA would have put it on the flip.....smells funny to me.

J. Doyle (N.Y. Nat'l) is only known with the Piedmont 350 back, although PSA mistakenly graded one Polar Bear example that close inspection suggests is a fake. There is an approximately zero percent chance that the card at auction is (or ever was) a legitimate J. Doyle (N.Y. Nat'l) specimen.

Even his Larry Fritsch story is a little on the erratic side.
