About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: When Mr. Mack really needs to win a big game he hands the ball to “Chief”. Not only is Bender a wonderful pitcher but he knows what it takes to win. Began his career in 1903 and was a star from the start, winning 17 games while still only 19 years old. In 1905 he and Mr. Mack won the American League crown, with Chief winning 18. After a couple close runs at it, they won the pennant again in 1910. Born in 1884 in Crow Wing County, Wisconsin. Attended the Carlisle Indian industrial School near Philly and also attended Dickinson college in the same area. He is a tall one at 6 feet and 2 inches and weighs in at 185 pounds.
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.
