Default Polar Bear Pack On Ebay. Authentic?

Posted By: Jon Canfield

Leon and others... I believe Scott (I think) who opened all of the Honest T-205 packs said that multiple cards could sometimes be pulled (I think that is the story you are reffering to). As for the Polar Bear packs - it appears from the scans to be really nice. I own the first "so-called" genuine Polar Bear unopened pack to be discovered and it was featured in SCD a while back. The Polar Bear packs used the same packaging over the years, but different dates would be stamped across the tax stamp in big purple letters. I have seen Polar Bear packs stamped as late as 1923. This one does not appear to have the purple overprint. The pack I own has no overprint, either - with just a 1910 stamp. I should also mention that all Polar Bears came from factory #6 in Ohio.
