FYI....T206 POLAR BEAR confirmed list

[Jason Carota]

You can add Speaker to the list, Ted. I don't have a scan anymore, as I sold it a few months ago.

Thanks everyone for your new inputs. The list will be updated tomorrow.....as, we approach 312 cards.....the theoretical number of
possible POLAR BEAR cards.

The definite No-Prints are........

Geo. Brown (Washington)
Dahlen (Brooklyn)
Demmitt (NY American)
Elberfeld (portrait-Washington)
O'Hara (NY Nat'l)

There are similarities between the OLD MILL's and the POLAR BEAR's. However, the Timeline of when these 2 brands were printed differs
by about 5 months.

The 350 series OLD MILL's were printed very early in 1910. The 350 series POLAR BEAR's were printed circa May/June 1910.

Subsequently, there were several press runs of both brands that included all the cards in the 350/460 series and the 460-only series.

Also, I might add that TOLSTOI shares many of the same fronts as OLD MILL and POLAR BEAR cards.


Great question.

Ted,

How many known examples are there for the Ty Cobb Green w/ Polar Bear back? Do you have a scan?

Hey....thanks guy for catching that one (Cobb-green). That entry is a mistake by me. It is an impossible front/back combo.

I have numerous other non-existent entries on this list that I am in the process of correcting at this moment. I transcribed
part of my OLD MILL list when I posted this POLAR BEAR list....my bad.

Anyhow, it will be corrected by this evening.

As my collection of raw "collector-grade" T206s has grown to over 300 examples (wow), I am proud to say I can finally return to contributing to these threads. My contribution here is the following 3 unlisted polar bear-backed T206 cards, all Minor Leaguers:

Clancy
Hayden
Schirm


I do not have scans.

Not sure if my question got lost ion the mix, but was there confirmation of a Polar Bear Waddell Throwing or Portrait? I never seen one and since I am trying to obtain every Waddell example I can, I would be very interested to know if it exists.

Thanks - Rob

Rob,
Neither of the Waddell cards exist with a Polar Bear back(both are 150/350 group).
