Polar bear back Cobb

[53toppscollector]

depends on your definition of scarce.

Here are the PSA numbers:

* PSA has graded 2,313 Cobb Red Portraits in total. It is the most graded T206 card by a huge margin (next highest is 1600)

* Of the 2,313 examples graded, 245 are Polar Bears, so 10.6%.

* The 245 Polar Bears are by far the highest number of any of the Cobb Red off backs. The next closest is Old Mill, with 94 graded examples.

* The 245 Polar Bears are by far the most of any subject in a Polar Bear back. The next closest is Chance Yellow Portrait (also a super print) at 145. For comparison, the Chance Yellow has been graded 1,332 times, so the 145 Polar Bears would be 10.9% of its total population

So, if we are talking Polar Bears, the Red Cobb is the most graded example. It is also the most common off back Red Cobb. That said, there are 499 Piedmont Red Cobbs and 582 SweetCap Red Cobbs, so the Polar Bear back is twice as rare as those.
