About the Player

Ty Cobb says: “Mack has a great individuality. He is a crafty, quiet manager who is always under cover and who rules his team with all the authority of a czar, but by persuasion and not the iron hand. He is a very fatherly man, not only with his players, but with his acquaintances, and his men treat him with the respect due a father. He is never one of the fellows on the club. And during a game he is constantly on the job managing, and it is his managing and shrewd judgment which win for the Athletics.”

About the Series

The Helmar H813-4 Boston Garter series consists of 45 cards, and the design was inspired by one of the most beautiful baseball card sets of all time, the 1912 Boston Garters. The originals showed the sock garters; the Helmar versions instead show interesting scenes in the background or period detail such as a 1912-era telephone. Each card is large at 8.5' x 4.25' and gorgeous. Produced in 2014. In the fall of 2021 the series was extended with a round, 2.5' dexterity hand puzzle made to match each earlier card in the series. Each hand puzzle consitutes a game piece that includes three dice with outcomes detailed on the puzzle's backs. Two new players were introduced within the series extension, #47 (Lazzeri) and #81 (Cravath). Additionally, the last two puzzles feature John McGraw in multi-player illustrations. The back of #83 features a checklist.
