About the Player

Ruth is no kid anymore but he still socks the horsehide like nobody else. Just ask Charlie Root of the Cubs, made the goat of last year’s Series by the finger-pointing Babe. Ruth played only 133 games last year but still hit 41 homers and batted .341. The fans will be disappointed if the great Bambino fails to make a good show against the NL “all-stars.” Ruth wants to manage when he’s all through, and the big game will give him a chance to learn from the winningest field boss of all time, Mr. Mack. At the start of this season Babe had 652 roundtrippers, twice as many as the next closest batsman.

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.
