t206 Polar Bear Question
Posted By: Morrie
I was going through my 206's the other night when I noticed something strange. I have 2 Doolan (batting) cards, both with Polar Bear backs. On one of the backs, there are two letters missing from the word "Series" (that is, it reads, "Ser s"). There's also a printing imperfection in the B in "Bear." On the other back, all the letters are printed normally. |

I have seen some Polar Bear backs where the letters are very crisp and others where that is not the case. Probably just a result of too much ink or the quality of the ink. |

I rejected it when I found the exact same variant back on different cards. |

At the risk of sounding like a dolt, today I confirmed the existence of a second copy of the Doolan (batting) print error I posted about back in May. It's part of a lot of 10 Polar Bear-backed t206's currently up for sale on eBay, and the print defects on the back are identical to the print defects on the back of my Doolan (batting) and Bradley t206 Polar Bears (the print flaw in the "B" and the missing "ie" in "Series"). I'm going to go ahead and post the scan of the front from that auction, and the back scan I received directly from the seller (both have been cropped out of the full-size picture for clarity of presentation and to save bandwidth). |

Board members are just having a little fun. You know this thread will cause more than a couple to take a look at their own stash of Polar Bears. Thanks for sharing your find. |

Polar Bear backs are printed inversely, that is, the light spaces are "left out" not "printed on top of" the blue. So in the case of at least two each of these two cards, the factory forgot to LEAVE space in the blue, not simply put white on top. |
