I do find it interesting that there were no Demmitts or O'Haras in the collection.

Take care guys.

My guess is that American Lithographic shipped all (or most) of the Demmitt and O'Hara St. Louis variations to the St. Louis area.

Ted,

They excluded some areas in the packing and shipping of certain brands because of the tobacco laws in those areas but I don't think it would have been practical for them to start pulling certain players to include or exclude. If there was around 100 T206's that's only 40% of the polar Bears if there were no duplicates so most likely Demmitt and O'hara just happened to be in the 60% that weren't in the collection.

Imagine how fabulous it would have been if these two guys were included in this collection ?

Approximately 100 subjects are T206's, representing the 350-only Series....350/460 Series....460-only Series (both Print groups).

Ted, what a great success story for all concerned. Win-win. And it demonstrates yet again that there is still undiscovered stuff out there waiting to be outed.
Hoping to make December show, particularly since I missed the National. Unless, of course, Florida gets smacked again with another Ian. Fortunately, for me and many other Floridians Palm Beach County was mostly spared. I fear that our local insurance and world reinsurance markets are going to be hard pressed to meet their liabilities, given the severity of Ian. John

Hi John

The Oaks, PA facility is better suited for a large BB card Show (like Philly) than the Valley Forge showroom.

John, you have to come up here and check-it out.

The alignment mark on the Moeller is probably because of where it was located on the Polar Bear sheet his cards were on. Here's another Moeller Polar Bear with the same alignment mark.

As a number of you Net54er's know, I've been working on T206 runs of the Exclusive 12 subjects (460-only Series). Zach Wheat in this group of 12 has been a real
challenge. The Exclusive 12 subjects were each printed with 13 backs. Thanks to Dan making a deal with me for the POLAR BEAR back from this collection. None of
the Exclusive 12 subjects were printed with LENOX or PIEDMONT 460 Fac #42 backs. They were printed with UZIT, however Wheat has yet to be confirmed with it.
