T206 and the beautiful Polar Bear backs
Well here you have it perhaps my favorite (obtainable) back in the set yet why is it treated the same as a Piedmont and Sweet Caporal ??? It isn't that scarce nor is it hard to get a PB even with a HOF. I see the connection there what I don't see is why they're valued the same as a Pied or SC..
PB I believe were packaged a lot differently in the cigarette boxes thus resulting in lots of residue and making it harder to find them in good condition as opposed to the other backs in the set. Yet that isn't a factor when determining the value of a card ?
And can we talk about their look ? Ummm way more attractive. Something about that almost all black back. It's like having a t206 in an SGC slab. The white borders play well off of the black stock in the casing. I think this is the same with the back of the PBs.
Am I missing something here ? C'mon all you PB fans come out of the closet and spread your knowledge for me and represent !!!! Have a coke on me
