T206 Doyle Auto
Selling one of my doubles of an autographed T206 Doyle card. Had to sell in order to help fund some additional
purchases. I really had hoped to hold onto this one for a long time, given its color and clarity. But ultimately,
when you have to move cards, you start with the doubles. Oh well.
If you're looking to pick up an autographed T206 card, this is a wonderful opportunity to pick up a gorgeous signed card.

Newspaper Clippings
Today was a bit of a sad day for my T206 collection as I reluctantly decided to part with my only two authentic newspaper
advertisements containing T206 cards. Frankly, I got an offer I could not refuse that prompted me to sell. I will
keep scans of these (and other) T206 adverts on my website in the articles section. But I will miss being able
to open newspapers from 1909, allowing me to browse along with readers 100 years ago -- and stumbling upon T206 ads.
Alas, I am quite certain they are going to a good home with a collector who will appreciate them, perhaps even more than
I have. And, of course, the funds received will go a long way toward improving my T206 card collection.
