Thanks for these 2 new inputs. Chappelle and Ganzel have been added to the list.

We are up to 250 confirmed POLAR BEAR cards.

Hi Ted,

The year before last I put together what I believed (and still believe) to be a complete T206 Polar Bear back subset.

I believe that there are 250 cards in this subset.

However, I do not believe Howell (Portrait) should be on the confirmed list.

I think someone confused it with Howell (Standing).

In fact, on your other thread (Unconfirmed POLAR BEAR cards vs 1910 COUPON cards), you list Howell (Portrait) as a probable No-Print.

And I've searched under most every stone for three years and have not found a Howell (Portrait) with a Polar Bear back.

So this would reduce your list to 249 confirmed with Polar Bear backs.....

But there do exist 250 with Polar Bear backs.....

Should I reveal the 250th?????

Ok.....

It is Doc Crandall (with Cap)!!!!!

If anyone can confirm any additional T206's with Polar Bear backs, I would love to know!

Always Best Regards,
Craig

You are (W)right....you will not find Howell (Portrait) with a Polar Bear back. I have sratched this card from the list.

And, I have added Crandall.

Thanks for this new input.


Best regards,

The St Louis variations of Demmitt and O'Hara were printed ONLY with the POLAR BEAR back.


To date, there are 250 confirmed T206 subjects with the POLAR BEAR (PB) back.

There is a good probability that this list completes the PB run. But, with the T206 "Monster" you can never be sure. Please check-out
the prior post (#29) which lists the cards that have NOT yet been found with the PB back.

One more useful tidbit of information for you T206 specialists....all 103 subjects that comprise the 350/460 and 460-only series....and,
the six Super-Prints (109 total) have been confirmed with the PB back.

Our Net54 POLAR BEAR expert, Craig Wright, agrees that this list of 250 cards should represent a complete run of POLAR BEAR cards.


Thanks,

Hey Ted,

I owe you an email.

That list looks good to me. Thank you for your perseverance.


Eventually, what would be good, is not only lists of confirmed backs, but a master list by fronts of the possible backs.
