My notes suggest that the AB, BL, Cycle, and Drum cards were printed during the Summer/Fall of 1910. And,
the "Coupon" set was most likely printed in the Summer of 1910 (as it comprises of only 350 series Subjects).
Now, I think we can narrow down the 1st printing (350 series) of the Polar Bear cards to May 1910. The NY
variations of Demmitt and O'Hara do not exist with Polar Bear backs. The St Louis variations of Demmitt and
O'Hara were printed only with Polar Bear backs.
Considering the above facts, an accurate timeline for the initial Polar Bear release can be established....since
both Demmitt & O'Hara played only a few games with their respective St Louis teams at the start of the 1910
season (then they were sent down to the Eastern League in early May of 1910).
