T206Collector...with this statement: "I would guess that Russell simply did not notice the Doyle."
When I started collecting T206 cards, I recognized there were different advertising backs, but I really didn't care until someone told me there were people who actually collected the rare backs. I still don't have a taste for them, but can, naturally, appreciate their worth to others.
What this memory helps me with is in recalling a time when collecting was less detail-oriented. I believe that people started to really focus on the details when there were huge sums of money involved with tiny flaws in the printing process. Certainly there were always the truly hard core types that poured over every printing fart on a card. But their numbers have grown only in recent years when such attention to detail earned a potential monetary windfall.
