About the Player
John J. McGraw says: “My astonishment at finding Christy Mathewson on first base for the Giants when I took charge of the team late in 1902 can well be imagined. To-day it would be a shock. Of course I had seen Matty before I saw him playing on the bag. To me he was pretty nearly the perfect type of a great pitching machine. He had the stature and strength and he had tremendous speed. That speed was the thing everybody talked about then. As yet he had not begun to study pitching as an art.”
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.
