Joe Doyle – 1911 ATC T206

Plenty of legends spotted in this collection were inducted into the Hall of Fame. Joe Doyle, on the other hand, is a rarely valued individual who was excluded. Despite being an average slugger who faded into obscurity, his cards remain extremely worthy, going for $414,750 in one sale! One theory has to do with a mistake. The initial edition of his card displayed Doyle as being part of New York’s National League rather than the Yankees!
