Thanks and sorry if you guys have talked about that a ton.

If i make any errors in this discourse, I am sure some of the wiser on the board will correct me, but Demmitt and O'Hara were traded to their new teams fairly late in the run and are only available in Polar Bear products with the new team designation and slight alterations to the pictures. They played very few games for their new teams and were not included in subsequent ATC offerings. Polar Bears were issued in the late part of 1910. It was also a scrap tobacco and not a rolled product so you are going to find very few without a few flecks of baccy on them.
