T206 Polar Bear Chronicles By Chris Torres

I recently consigned a T206 Polar Bear Ray Demmitt and a 1971 Topps Super Complete 63 card set to REA for their 2024 Summer Auction. In this video I breakdown how these two consignments performed and show if I made or lost money consigning them.

How did I end up with a T206 Polar Bear Frank Chance upgrade when at first I had given up all hope of winning that auction lot. Our pre-war community works in ways we will never know but I am forever thankful!

I am still not 100% confident in this process but I have to overcome this fear as the result could be amazing. At the same time, lets play a little game!

For five years I have struggled with this upgrade and it has nothing to do with the actual replacement but everything to do with the potential history of the card. This card speaks to me in a way no other card has before but maybe it is time to overcome that mental block.

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.

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. Have a question around T206 or...

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...

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 egg...
