Ted, Your cataloging and collecting the T206 sets that you have in the past (particularly those elusive Sovereign reverses) is more than noteworthy; it must have been an odyssey, an expensive but highly satisfying one. You probably know much more about the famous Doyle history than I, but I do recall when I first starting sniffing around T206's (around 3 yrs old), there was no such error card. I believe, as the story goes, Larry Fritch ran across one with the Nat'l designation and then put an ad in SCD to buy any and all such cards and, voila, 1 or 2 appeared from the woodwork and a very expensive baseball card was born. Don't you love this s#@t? Ted, do you remember when Keith O., Alan Rosen (who?) and SGC all got into a 3 way dog fight about a graded Doyle Nat'l that had been altered, and not very well.
As I recall, it got very nasty. John
