Impossible....that one of the great hobby veterans would not have noticed the "Nat'l" caption on the Joe Doyle card.
Sure, our experience shows that perhaps less than 10 of these error cards exist, but there were 100's of no -"Nat'l"
Joe Doyle's for them to compare with.
I cannot vouch for Burdick, Carter, etc....but, I will comment on Frank Nagy.
My conversations, via many written letters between us, with Frank Nagy (prior to Fritsch's discovery of his Joe Doyle
error cards) convinced me that Frank was very discerning in discovering BB card variations. Nothing got past Frank....
he could converse on the most trivial flaws or variations on any BB card. Trust me, the "Nat'l" variation wouldn't have
eluded Frank.
