You've done an 180 degree turn on the Slow Joe Doyle.

What took you, and what finally convinced you?

My doubts 1st started when I heard about where many of the Doyle's, that Fritsch bought up in the 1980's, ended
up. And more recently, when a fake (graded) Joe Doyle error card showed up, it understandbly made me skeptical.

But, about 1 1/2 years ago when I 1st came up with my "PIEDMONT first" theory, I realized just like the Magie error,
the Joe Doyle error card fit perfectly into my Piedmont theory.

And, then I started noticing the "Printer's Mark" on some regular Joe Doyle cards....and, I did a study on it.
Assuming this Mark reflects the prior presence of the "Nat'l" lettering (as I certainly do), then I am fully convinced.

I just wish a few more of these Joe Doyle error cards would show up.

Ted, you said- "I just wish a few more of these Joe Doyle error cards would show up."

why? we've now seen enough to know it is a legitimate "variation/printing error"...

a limited number of them known keeps the value higher...

or do you want the market to be saturated with them, thus not having much of a premium?

Don't misunderstand my last statement in the above response.

I do not need more of these Joe Doyle error cards to convince me....I am convinced.

However, just for the thrill of finding more of them, is why I wish at least a dozen (or more) would be discovered.

DITTO.....for the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb card.

I wouldn't mind finding one or two....in an antique shop in the Great Smokies. I'd keep one..show them both to Ted, and sell Michael one...everybody ends up happy.

joe- you obviously haven't read too many of my posts. i am true collector, who has been obsessed with T206 rare variations for the last 15+ years...the majority of my posts focus on collecting such rarities, and that is also where my main area of knowledge is...from time to time, i might reference value or "supply & demand", but that is usually mentioned to give a point of reference for scarcity...ask anyone who knows me on this board, and they will tell you that i am a very passionate T206 collector.

ted- i totally get your point, and as i have mentioned previously, i give you huge kudos for unearthing this very subtle, yet very cool variation!
