Default T206 Polar Bear with Sweet Caporal on Front?

Default Probably from a stack of cards

Much like the thread of showing raw cards in a stack, my guess would be the Polar Bear sat underneath a Sweet Cap for a while, probably in humid or moist conditions. Just a bleed from one card to the next.

But, that is just my uneducated guess.
