another thing to consider is that within polar bear backs they are not any rarer than any other polar bear subject.....its just that all other polar bear subjects are available in common piedmont/sweet cap backs (and likely several other backs).
I mean, they are actually two of the most populous Polar Bears, because they are the highest value.

I have the following as the Polar Bears with the most combined pop between PSA and SGC

Cobb Red
Demmitt
O'Hara
Chance Yellow
Cobb Bat Off
WaJo Pitching
Joss Pitching
Mathewson Dark Cap
Young Glove Shows

All of those have 200+ Polar Bears. The Red Cobb was the only one, last I checked, with more Polar Bears graded than Demmitt/O'Hara. Red Cobb had been graded almost 500 times.
