I find the Doyle variation as interesting as Nodgrass....which would be not at all.

JP really???

You put the Doyle NY. Natl. in the same league as a missing S Nodgrass plate error card???

That makes no sense as a fellow T206 collector...the Doyle is the king of T206 cards in terms of toughness...no other T206 comes close.

Wagner, Plank & Magie are just a question of cash...but even with cash you would have a hard time getting any Doyle let alone a nice example.

Wonka, I'm there with you: I stopped collecting T206s a long time ago and will never afford a Doyle, but it's a difference between a plate error (nodgrass) and a full error run in adding the Nat'l. It's apples and oranges.

Also, the story about Larry Fritsch, a hobby pioneer, putting ads in SCD trying to buy up all examples quietly is legendary and only adds to the card's interest. It's the big one rarity-wise, a truly great card.

Yup, really. I find a broken printing plate as interesting as a quick correction by the tobacco companies to correct Doyle's team designation.

Doyle and Snodgrass will never be as interesting as the unsolvable mysteries surrounding Plank and Honus being printed and then pulled...
