T205 Polar Bear no prints.
 
Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>Here is what I have but as far as I know there is no complete checklist (yet, although, I am probably really close...after nearly 15 years, I better be!). <br><br>I do have a friend who has put together a Polar Bear only set (as far as we know).<br><br>Here is what I have for Polar Bear No Prints. If anybody can subtract from this list with a scan I would greatly appreciate the info.<br><br>Fronts of cards without Polar Bear reverse:<br>Carrigan (this one vexes me as he should come with a PB but I have yet to see one)<br>Chase-border stops at shoulders<br>Chase-left ear<br>Crandall-t not crossed<br>Donahue<br>Dougherty- red sock<br>Grant<br>Joss<br>Karger<br>Kleinow<br>Lefi eld- &quot;A.&quot;<br>Raymond<br>Suggs<br>Turner<br>Wa gner<br>Wilhelm (both)<br><br>Cards that have back variations that do not come with Polar Bear<br>Gray with stats<br>Hoblitzell no stats<br>Hoblitzel- one &quot;l&quot;<br><br><br>Now the theory...for awhile I had this theory that certain cards were replaced on the sheet by the minor leaguers. I think that Chase left ear, Donahue, Grant, Joss, Karger, Kleinow, Raymond, Suggs, Turner, Wagner, Hoblitzel and Wilhelm did this. I also think that the first Wilhelm was printed &quot;suffe ed&quot; and was replaced later in the printing with the &quot;suffered&quot; printing. I also feel that the Hobby no stats replaced Hoblitzel. These are just theories and there are several problems with them still (among them the Carrigan and the rarity of Joss, etc.).<br><br>Hope this helps with whatever you are doing.<br><br>Joshua

Posted By: <b>Don</b><p>Thanks Joshua. I was thinking about doing a Polar Bear subset and wondered what would be missing. Too bad on the no print Joss, that's one of my favorite cards.

T205 Polar Bear no prints.
 
Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>After my friend started working on an all Polar Bear set I gave it some serious consideration. It is really not that difficult because it is missing many of the rarities but like you said it is missing a few of my favorite cards, namely the Joss and Wilhelm.<br><br>Good luck.<br><br>Joshua<br><br>
