In the 80s... I was the "Polar Bear" kid when I went to card shows. I only collected T206s with Polar Bear Backs (why couldn't I have picked Drum instead?) |

Y'know Ted, whenever it is I can't find a T206 that I still need, I'll think of you-- when are you going to do the all Old Mill or EPdG set?? As far as the no print list, I have Adkins and Ganzel, but none of the others. I also have not seen any of the other cards on your list. Nice work, as usual. |

I think the Sovereigns are awesome... and I voted for that back when you were considering which one would be your next subset. So, it might be me you are talking about. |

With Jim's input, that increases the Polar Bear count to 250 cards. |

So wait. Now we're up to 251 cards? There should be 252, then, again unless something was double-printed. |

Ted, looked through my t206's, nothing to add to your list. Interestingly my Smith (Chicago and Boston) is also a PB. It would be interesting to see the back distribution on this card amongst people on the forum. |

i think it was i who pointed out that Smith, Chi & Bos, is seen more times than not, with PB backs...i own a PSA 5 (PB) and used to own a PSA 3 (PB)... |

Assuming that the T206's were printed in sheets, as the persuasive evidence indicates, and if the Polar Bear list is complete at 252, does it stand to reason that the sheets were 12 cards wide at Amer. Litho., even if all possible 21 sheets were not printed in equal quantities? |

I would not rush to conclude that the final count is 252 cards in this sub-set. |

Based on your research, I just determined that I have finished off my T-206 Philadelphia Nationals subset of Polar Bear Backs (I had Doolan Fielding and Knabe as my two open possibilities) |

Is it correct to state that if there is a Polar Bear back for a card there should be a Tolstoi back? Sorry, I don't have my reference materials handy but I think the Superset spreadsheet was showing the same number of possible cards for both backs. |
