Great postcard of the Ohio Factory.

Your comment....
"Hasn't the assumption always been that Demmitt and O'Hara were produced in the same quantities as any
other T206 with a Polar Bear back?

I have heard this, also....and it would make sense, along with what I suggested earlier, that the Polar Bear
production was limited to one press run. And because both Demmitt and O'Hara (as St Louis players) were
no longer in the Majors in the Fall of 1910 when these cards were available in Chewing Tobacco pouches....
many of them were being "dis-carded".

I remember as kid, tossing BB cards of players that were no longer active in the Majors and keeping the ones
that I read about in the Sporting News.

Thanks for showing us your pix.
