About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: The man known to all as “Home Run” will be a welcome addition to the New York Americans this spring. So far his entire career has been with the Philadelphia Athletics club and his career average with them has been .321. Always a threat to pull a long ball, he’s led the American League in round-trippers four of the seven years that he’s been in the big leagues. He’s also led in triple baggers once (1909) and runs batted in twice (1912 and 1913). John was born in Trappe, Maryland, on March 13, 1886. He is 5’11” and 173 pounds, all tough as nails.
About the Series
Helmar Imperial Cabinets are mammoth. Each is about the size of a sheet of paper. They are thick, sturdy, and beautiful. There are two series in this set; series one measures 8.25' x 10.875', while series two is a shade smaller. The second series features a multi-colored border. The art was produced using a variety of methods. Each card takes a long time to assemble, to scrape, rub, treat, and transform, so it seems that you are holding a huge, overwhelmingly-beautiful card from the turn of the last century.
