Greg, that's an incredible story about finding your Grandpa's amazing Polar Bear cards!
Andrew, I love the rainbow of 1920 W516-1 cards. I googled "Save your tablet fronts and win a prize. L.A. Becker"
It was suspected by at least one collector Ms. Becker was a school teacher who offered this contest to her students, and that the writing has been found only on the ten cards from this series. There may be a many as 7 of each subject.
Is that the same story you have about the cards?

Hi Charles,
Yes, Ed and I have communicated many times about these cards. He has several more than I do currently and some day we plan to get together with our Becker backs to see if any of them "fit" together and can be identified as being from the same strip. He has a Peckinpaugh example and I don't (yet). And we are both on the lookout for the other two from the sheet although neither of us have ever seen one.
Thanks for the kind words. Those are some of my favorites.
Andrew
