Who collects Polar Bears?

On and off, ton of HOF keep me on the fence.

Beautiful back compared to the others. They smell nice too

What can I say Pete, sometimes confession is good for the soul

I don't collect them, exactly, as my first goal is to get all the Senators (minus, for now, the Elberfeld portrait and the two Walter Johnsons). But Polar Bear is my favorite back.

All I can smell is plastic.

i particularly appreciate sgc's having the good sense to grade the card
a 5 and not penalizing due to the tobacco stains.
The stains are what make the polar bears a favorite back and are absolutely
integral to the identity of the card itself.
all the best,

I don't actively chase them, but I'm getting more interested lately. I think it's a fun subset if you ignore the expensive ones. And really nice ones aren't easy to find. Even vg-ex can be a nice little challenge.

I know of one collector who has a complete Polar Bear set. It is certainly a tough one for the more condition conscious collector. Possible, but tougher.
