Hi everyone. I'm in the process of going through my T206 dupes to figure out which ones to keep and which ones to sell. I'm stuck on my Konetchy dupes and was hoping you all could help me out.

I know both cards are in poor condition, but if you wanted to keep only one, which would you choose? The Old Mill backed one that has no creases but a chunk out of his face? Or the Polar Bear backed one with multiple creases and a couple of paper loss areas?

Eventually I hope to replace both with a card in much better condition, but for now I need to choose only one. Thanks in advance for your comments.

I'd keep the Polar Bear. The paper loss to the face is too distracting for me. Plus, the rare backs are selling well now.

landslide vote for the Polar Bear. I can't see a reason to pick the other one.

Eye appeal is everything -- but in this case the one with the eyes a-peelin' is not the one to keep.

Polar bear for sure.

I am doing a set that could probably be best described as poor, but I find it completely livable so long as there are no prices missing and no creases across the face.

You could always just take the front from the Polar Bear one and re-back it with the Old Mill. I hear that there's a couple of guys that might be able to help with that :)
