You know you might be a little too specialized when you refer to E97 as a mainstream set.

Leon and all,
This Dolan has been on my Phillies list as verified for at least 10 years. That means that I have seen one in the past.

Not sure where but I want to say that Lew Lipset had one once upon a time.

PSA lists a Dolan that has been graded authentic in there pop report. It is the only Dolan they have graded. Guess my set isn't complete.

Just for comparison, here is a scan of the normal Doolan card, which I no longer own. Had the complete set at one time but have never seen a "Dolan."

Is it just me or the scans, or are the fonts in the "Doolan" and "Dolan" cards significantly different?

This would be consistent with the 4 known E97 variations in that the later issued ("fixed") versions of each one has the name in a larger font than the earlier-printed version. Though I was not aware of the Dolan with no comma, it would fit the pattern in E97 that the correct Doolan with a comma would have a larger font for the name.

Cheers,
Blair
