T206 Doyle N.Y. +++ let's see your "Y" and "."

[mybuddyinc]

I know there are a variety of printings of the N.Y. of Doyle out there.

Just perusing my set, and realized I have a slight one --- missing most of the right branch of the Y. The "." is faint, but is still there.

Hardly earth shattering, but

If anyone has any others, let's see them.

Fun stuff, Scott

When I look at my example, I thought "some kid back in 1910 got mad because Joe Doyle pitches for NY American League!" and then scratched off NAT'L





I sent the card off to my son-in-law (who is a scientist), and he took a picture for me under magnification.



I posted these pictures before. Everyone who responded said "no way", but I still see something there.....

I just got this DOYLE, N.Y. .

It has a small mark that seems to be all that is left from the NAT'L that was removed from the printing plate. This is as close as I'll ever come to owning a Doyle error card.

I'm sorry for the poor scan. The mark is quite noticeable in person.

Congrats on the pickup Sean.

Here's a better scan of your new card and a crop of the caption area.

Hi Sean

I acquired one of these Joe Doyle cards 12 years ago. I refer to them as the "poor man's Joe Doyle Nat'l" card. I posted this Joe Doyle "printer's mark" in this 2007 thread...... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...slow+joe+doyle

Over the years, I have run a survey on this "printer's mark" (200+ T206 Joe Doyle cards), and if I recall correctly approx. 6 % of these cards exhibit this mark.
I will dig up my survey and post it.

Hi Pat, and thank you so much for the enhanced scan. After I retire and have a lot more time I'm going to get a new scanner and learn how to really use a computer. Until then I appreciate all the help that I can get.

Ted, do all these "poor man's Doyle Nat'l" cards have a Piedmont back? That would make sense.

Hi Sean

The Joe Doyle card was printed with seven T-brand backs, this "printer's mark" appears with 4 of them. Here's my old survey from 5 years ago
with 282 unique samples.

I am still searching for my more recent Joe Doyle survey (300+ samples) which indicates approx. 6 % of these cards with this "printer's mark".



Printer's Mark....................l.... (remnant of "N" in Nat'L)



UPDATED as of Feb 6, 2013


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

Piedmont 350........10............90

Sweet Cap 350.......7...........122

Polar Bear..............3............20

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

Sovereign 350.........0...........14

Tolstoi....................0.............5

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

Unknown back.........0.............2
____________________________

Totals................. 21 ........ 261



Joe Doyle cards with this printer's mark = 21/282 = 7.4 %



If anyone on this forum has not previously reported their Joe Doyle card with (or without) this printer's mark,
your input to this survey would be really appreciated.

And, please identify the T-brand back of your card.

Thanks,
