What should we call the cards formerly known as T206 Polar Bear

[icurnmedic]

Count me as not understanding the question/situation....

t213-1?

I assume this has to do with the 213-1 thread.

Thanks, hadn't been following that thread lately and missed this. I've gotten all caught up now.

I say T206-2.

So, I was thinking maybe a little comic relief here.

How do you catch a Polar Bear?

Cut a hole in the ice, and surround it with frozen peas. When the Polar Bear comes up to take a pea, kick him in the ice-hole.

Thank folks, I’ll be here all week.

Pretty sure Rob's thread is about some things I posted. To be clear Polar Bears
are t206's because that's what Burdick Classified them as and he's the one
that came up with the system.

What I was saying is as far as I know there is no proof they were printed with
the rest of the T206's and there is some pretty good evidence that they might
not have been printed at the same facility and/or time as the rest of the t206's.

Sorry Ted and Pat, I think it's an interesting debate. I did not mean for my thread to be flippant. I meant it to be humorous. I thought everyone was following along in that other thread, and I see now that they were not. Similar to T215 Pirate and Red Cross, Adam's reply or Pete's were some of the types of answers I was looking for if Polar Bear were reclassified.

Can I buy back my introduction to you?

Polar Bears printed somewhere else.... ????

I guess someone in another print shop etched the plates/stones and just happened to have obverses identical to Piedmonts, Sovereigns, and such as in T206's....

I think they fit in fine as T206's.

About 28 years ago Mr. Lipset had listed in one of his auctions or sales (if my memory is working accurately) a lot of Polar Bear back cards. I think the quantity was in the low 90's. Over the years since, I kinda wished I had bought that lot. Had I done so, I may well have managed to have a full set of whatever they are.

Polar Bears are just fine among those cigarettes. If you wanna get rid of something, the Ty Cobb backed cards should be considered some separate private printing in the style of T206.
