Maybe the other card besides the Magie is the Doyle Nat'l. It wasn't really known about until Fritz (sp) advertised he was buying all Doyles. I think that was after 62? That would make 524 for the set. Great article. Thanks Ted.

Thanks Joe,

The T206 Joe Doyle Nat'l card was not....and WAS....known by the early 1980's. When Larry Fritsch apparently was the first in the modern era of the hobby to discover
this rare error card, there was at least one other such Joe Doyle card in existence.

I say "WAS known"....because Georgia Senator Richard Russell had one in his childhood collection. Russell passed away in 1971; and circa 1980, his 1000+ Tobacco card
collection was placed in a museum at the Univ. of Georgia (where it has been on display). His T206 set also includes a Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb card. No Wagner or Plank.

Best regards,

great pics, everyone.
ted,
I finally got back to my office and had a chance to look at my framed Nagy's
and was surprised to see that all but one were graded authentic.
It didn't seem to matter much---just 3 here-- an e90-1 roy thomas aut, e90
schlitzer Aut, and an sgc 60 goudey '33 of mccurdy; then, i noticed that your cards and jay's are authentics. I think we mentioned something akin to this aeons ago but am wondering if the Nagy's are often authentic. Obviously, I'm not forgetting the exceptionality(two meanings?) of Jim's beauties.
just wondering.
great stuff.
best,
barry

Many of the E90's in Frank's collection appear to have been altered (trimmed ?).
My Duffy, Speaker and Tinker in Post #14 were also graded AUTH. (before I cracked them out of their SGC plastics).

As you know, a lot of these E90's were oversized and perhaps this is why they were cut down.

Other card issues that I've acquired from Frank over the years (Goudey's, Diamond Stars, Play Ball's) have not been altered.

Anyone know what became of the Wagner card that was on the cover of the magazine ? Great info thanks for sharing . I love stuff like that when it was about the hobby and less about the value. Thanks , Brett

Cool article and an interesting glimpse into the hobby we enjoy. Thanks for posting, Ted.

Nice cards, everyone. Here's my lone Nagy, also a Wagner....

Frank Nagy's Wagner (shown on the cover) sold in 2005 in Mastro's auction for approx. $456,000.
