Default ESPN: Famous Honus Wagner card sells for record $2.35M

"T206C. I'm surprised you said that.
Somehow, some of the slab aficcionados keep forgetting that the Rosen/Keith O./Joe Doyle error card fiasco was entombed in an SGC holder."

The Doyle error is THE SGC legacy of F-Up's. I am not sure why certain people feel the need to bring this up to bash SGC, because the real truth shows that SGC is second to none when it comes to standing behind their product. This is also why the PSA 8 Plank and Wagner would never be anything but AUTH in an SGC holder. What happened with the Doyle:

1. SGC admitted failure.
2. SGC paid Rosen back the money he paid for the card plus his advertising expenses.
3. I believe Rosen paid around $8,000 for the card.

I assume SGC is not very proud of this moment in history, but I would publish this in every issue of their SGC collector magaizine to show the guarantee in action.
