T206 Doyle N.Y.

[tedzan]

Regarding the Joe Doyle error card and this question......" How many fakes are graded and have not been bought back? "

My understaning is that there are several. The most notorious graded fake Doyle error card is one with a Polar Bear back.
When the owner of this fake Doyle was apprised of it, it is reported that he simply shrugged it off.

Hi Ted,

I was wondering what you based the difficulty of backs for the Doyle card on. Is it based on pop reports or personal research? Just wondering, as I was surprised by the two you mentioned as being the toughest.

I only have access to SGC pop reports and many look similar as far as scarcity.

thanks - Rob

The fake Doyle that you are referring to was graded by SGC.

The fake Doyle with the Polar Bear back that I referred to in the above post was graded by PSA.

Regarding your......" Hi Ted,

personal research? "

Several factors indicate to me that the normal T206 Joe Doyle with an EPDG back, or a Sovereign 350 back
(or a Tolstoi back) are considerable tougher than the other 4 backs this card is found with. They are my per-
sonal experience in putting together an all-Sovereign set, collecting EPDG cards, and a survey I conducted
in 2007 regarding the Printer's (remnant) Mark that exists on approx. 12 % of the Joe Doyle card. Here's the
link to that thread........

The final results of that survey are......T206 Joe Doyle with/or without the Printer's Mark......9/30/2007


T-brand..............Mark....No-Mark

Piedmont 350........7.........29

Sweet Cap 350......4.........41

Polar Bear.............2.........17

Old Mill.................1..........7

Tolstoi..................0..........1

Sovereign 350........0...........2

EPDG....................0...........1

Excellent question, Rob.
