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.

How do you think they printed the Coupon type 3's Frank? They're the same
exact image as the T206's just the caption is different on them.

I think the white border T206s and ALL of the Coupon cards are printed by American Litho. And I think Polar Bears were, too.
