As the author of the aforementioned T206 monograph, I can say that I never gave the question much thought. Since, I have been more persuaded by the proponents of the theory that the cards were printed front and back at a common location and then distributed. Although, I still grapple with the question of why Demmitt (St. Louis) and O'Hara (St. Louis) were only printed with the Polar Bear back. If the front and back printing were centralized, why would the front artwork have been changed and only printed and distributed with a single back to a single factory (Factory 6, Ohio)?
