I am curious what the theory would be as to why this print error would not show on any other back. There are countless examples of cards that show print spots or flaws that are consistent throughout most if not all backs. This would lead me to conclude that the back-specific advertising was the only part of the typeset that was changed between most of these runs. To accept that this was merely a misstrike of some sort would suggest that there was an entirely separate single print run for all Polar Bear backs that was independent from all printings with any other back. I suppose that is certainly possible but it does seem odd to me, especially for a card that is not a short print.
