Given that Polar Bear T206s were inserted into packages of scrap tobacco staining and discoloration from the tobacco itself is a very common flaw to find with the cards. A Polar Bear T206 graded EX or better is in our opinion classified as "high grade" for this reason and this example of Tom Downey's "fielding" pose has been graded EX+ 70 by SGC. While a few very minor spots of discoloration are evident on the front they are unobtrusive the overall wear on the card very mild. The highest graded example of this card known.
