Comments on this Card
The infamous first baseman, eventually banned from baseball, swings a bat in a Helmar beer advertisement. Dice outcomes on back.
About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Here’s a hard hitting first baseman that has graduated to become a regular for his team. “Chick” first came up with the Chicago American League team in 1910. He played in 77 games but could only manage a .193 average. In 1911 and part of the following year it was down to Montreal. Chick gained some great experience and joined the Senators for most of ‘12. He batted .305, then .318 as a full timer. He doesn’t hit many homers but is clutch with men on base and is pretty much the best hitter on the second place team. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, he is 6 foot even and 190 pounds.
About the Series
T206 size, Our Guy cards burst with color, front and back. Each card shows the player in fine detail and color, just as T206-era artists might have liked their work to appear had the technology been available. We consider it a subset of Helmar T206. This series has 179 cards at 1.625' x 2.65'. Twenty of each card were made. Included within this series is a subset of 2.5' dexterity puzzles that act as colorful game pieces. Each puzzle was produced in a quantity of 27. There is one card of Sam Crawford that was made with the 'dancing cigars' back that is found in the Helmar t206 series. It was made as a test back but did not proceed to production. It is in a West Coast private collection at this time.
