While playing around with spreadsheet checklists for Polar Bears and Sovereigns, I came across something interesting that may or may not have been brought up in the past. The first part I'm sure everyone is aware of is that all Sovereign 150/350 cards do not exist with Polar Bear backs. The second part which I normally wouldn't think much into it but a magic number 55 comes into play. I combined the Sovereign and Polar Bear lists together. I then removed the Sovereign 150/350 cards. Then I removed the cards that shared Polar Bear and Sovereign backs. What I was left with was a list of Polar Bears that don't have Sovereign 350 & 460 counterparts, and a list of Sovereign 350's that don't have Polar Bear counterparts. Odd thing is that each list has 55 unique cards and the Sovereign's are all the Forest Green Backs. So, am I putting too much thought into this? What's everyone's thoughts that each list has 55 cards? All cards are from the Print Group 2 class except where noted.

Hi Ron
Interesting stuff. I did a similar analysis with POLAR BEAR vs 1910 COUPON (T213-1) Major League (48) subjects in 2008. Refer to this thread.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...1654&highlight Shown here are the 48- Major League subjects in the 1910 COUPON set. The 1910 COUPON cards were issued circa..Spring/Summer 1910. My theory.....is this group of 48 subjects were printed from an early 350-only sheet of T206 cards. From this group, 39 subjects are POLAR BEAR No-Prints. The nine printed POLAR BEAR cards from this group are listed below. 1910 COUPON (T213-1) Major League (48) subjects ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Confirmed POLAR BEAR Subjects from this COUPON group Engle LaPorte Willett and the Six Super-Prints....which of course went on to be 350/460 series subjects and have PB backs Chance (yellow portrait) Chase (blue portrait) Chase (dark cap) Cobb (red portrait) Evers (bat-yellow sky) Mathewson (dark cap) TED Z .

Hey Rich, your right. So much for my 55/55 list. I guess that's what happens when I try to do T206 research 2:30 in the morning.

![]() ![]() ![]() During the Summer of 1909, American Litho (ALC) printed SWEET CAPORAL 150 Factory #30 cards of many Major Leaguers and shipped them to Factory #30 in NYC. Simultaneously, ALC started printing their first group (34 subjects) of Southern Leaguers. These cards were printed with brown HINDU backs and were shipped to the Factory (#649) producing HINDU cigarettes (also SWEET CAPORAL cigarettes). Furthermore, ALC selected 34 - Major League subjects from the batches of the aforementioned SWEET CAPORAL 150 cards and modified the backs by stamping them with the "Factory #649" overprint in order to ship them to this new factory. Circa..Fall of 1909, ALC switched to printing up the OLD MILL backs on the Southern League cards. During this entire process, the usual printer's practice of test runs between actual press runs resulted in these brown inked OLD MILL (scrap) cards [with the red ink Factory #649 overprint (inverted)]. I don't think any of them found their way into cigarette packs. Anyhow, to date 13 of them have been confirmed. They are........
