Some approach the enormity of The Monster with "fear". They think that it was cobbled together serendipitously. Oh contraire.
For the most part, I see it as the result of very diligent attention by its designers to produce a quality series of BB cards that
accurately reflected the BB scene during the 1908-1910 seasons. When I started my 1st set in 1980, I was determined to com-
pletely understand its complexity.

1st.....I do not think that "linkage" is the appropriate wording here regarding the PB "No-Prints" and the T213-1 Major Leaguer's.
It is strictly a timeline difference. I feel very strongly that the initial PB press run can be dated to May (or June) 1910. Which is
reinforced by the Demmitt & O'Hara scenario. Furthermore, the following 20 subjects (which happen to be in the T213-1 set)
had either retired, or were in transition when the PB 350-series cards were printed.

2nd.....considering that quite a few of these T213 guys' careers ended in 1909 (or early 1910), I would venture to say that
American Litho. produced this COUPON set earlier in 1910 than was, heretofore, thought of.

T213-1 subjects that are expected to be POLAR BEAR No-Prints......
