john/z28jd Ted,what are your thoughts on Bill Abstein since he was picked up by the St Louis Browns right around the same time as as Demmitt and left shortly after but he only appears with Pittsburgh in the set? Just when exactly were the Polar Bears produced if they have a guy who was with the team from Dec 1909-late April 1910 but not a guy who was with the same team from Jan 1910 till June of the same year
The timing of Abstein still being shown with Pittsburgh despite the fact he was gone Jan 6,1910 shows 350 series cards were printed before then,but Abstein appears in the Broadleaf series too so they couldve been printed before Polar Bears too which means they couldve very well started printing them sometime after Dec 16th when Demmitt was traded but before Jan 6th when Abstein was. You could almost narrow down the printing set up of Polar Bear cards to a small 20 day window if thats true
