Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. Appealing example of the rare T206 Bill O'Hara card, St. Louis Browns, variation. Polar Bear was the only company to issue this variation, thus no doubt contributing to its significant rarity. T206 cards issued with Polar Bear tobacco were not well protected from the accompanying product, thus most O'Haras have significant condition problems, including at least some tobacco staining. This well-centered example has brilliant colors, a crisp image, and even corner wear. The Polar Bear reverse is boldly printed. A small diagonal crease in the bottom right factors into the assigned grade.
