Show me your Polar Bears
One of my favorite backs in the t206 set are polar bears, I love the contrast when you see that dark back in a pile.
There are a few questions I have regarding them, overall rarity? I feel as if they are the third most common "brand" but they don't come across nearly as often and they don't seem to command any slight premium over piedmont or sweet caporal. 2. Missing frame lines, how rare is this printing error? 3. I notice some have a much richer blue.. is this simply related to plate saturation? I'm sure a few board members have full sets of PB's or are working on one, so please. Show me some of your favorite polar bears.

Easy to locate
Easy to locate in lower grades but they are very tough to find in high grade especially Psa 6 or better.

This could become my all-time favorite thread!
You don't see many Polar Bear backs missing frame lines, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in them either. As for your other question about the back color, it could possibly have been caused when the ink was mixed. Different batches of ink in slightly different colors. I used to mix paint years ago and even just one drop of toner could throw off the final color of a gallon of paint. Like some of the other T206 backs, some players are hard to find with a Polar Bear back while others seem more common. Here are two from my collection along with a trade card.

Favorite PB
My favorite PB is Bradley missing the "IE" in "SERIES". Out of the 3 known subjects (i.e. Bergen, Bradley and Doolan) with this error the Bradley is the most difficult with only 3 confirmed examples:

Not a card
and unlikely there's one inside - but it is sealed and still neat.

This is a less common Polar bear flaw, I've only seen a couple of these on two different subjects. Polar Bear with E filled in.jpg

Here is another example that has the misprinted curlicues at the top corners, and the upper border line too.

I find the repetition calming.
