MVSNYCTed- concerning your response to the print-run question...
<<"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".>>
...can you expand on the "print-run" quantity issue? i actually always assumed they were printed in LESS quantities...
