Are you a collector of T206 cards or just want to learn more about them? This is the podcast series for you as I will guide you through an in-depth look at my favorite tobacco advertisement back of the entire 520 card set, the Polar Bear back! One great thing about the Polar Bear back run set is that the set is only 250 cards instead of the 520 that are required to complete The Monster. Come along and learn why I love Polar Bear so much.

Unbelievable Truth: Five T206 Polar Bear Back Players With Just Six At-Bats
In Episode 4 I dive into the five players into the set that have a combined major league at-bat total of 6.
I also dive into some thought provoking questions as to why a particular team was featured multiple times in this set when there were several very well known players omitted from bigger name teams.

T206 Polar Bear Chronicles Episode 3: The Rarest & Most Common Hall of Famers According to SGC
In Episode 3 I dig in a little bit deeper, with the help of the SGC population reports, to talk about the five most common graded Polar Bear Hall of Famers and then the five rarest Hall of Famers. The disparity is a bit shocking.
I also compare the population counts of both PSA and SGC to one modern card to show the disparity of modern grading versus pre-war grading.

T206 Polar Bear Chronicles Episode 2: Cost of Obtaining the 32 Best Players in a Polar Bear Back!
In Episode 2 I discuss what a majority of baseball writers would say are the 32 best players in the entire Polar Bear subset of the T206 set. Interestingly enough though, these aren't the most expensive cards in the set but it will give you a solid road map on a current budget to obtain these 32 players.
I also discuss what two cards I would obtain first if I were to do this set all over again along with what big names I would purchase first, as I don't want you to make this expensive of a mistake as you collect Polar Bear cards.
I also talk about one player that doesn't have a Polar Bear back that when you look back at how and why this set was produced, them not having a card doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe in the distant future we will discover that card and I tie it back to my theory around the Honus Wager and Eddie Plank cards in the overall T206 set.

After two plus years away, welcome to my brand new series called the T206 Polar Bear Chronicles. I have two goals with this new series, demystify the set for the modern day collector and also humanize the players that are on these picture cards.
In today's first episode I walk you through my entire T206 Polar Bear sleeve tattoo and explain why everything is where it is and the three easter eggs that were built into the design!
