About the Player

John J. McGraw says: “I have included Rucker [on the All-Time team] because of his greatness in the National League during the period of its greatest growth. He never played in any other league. Rucker was easily the greatest slow-ball pitcher that I have ever seen. He relied on that tantalizing floater almost solely in critical moments. Occasionally he would serve a swifter ball, but even that was only a half-speed delivery—just enough to be a foil for his teasers.”

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.
