About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Signing “Lindy” may turn out to be a great stroke of luck for Brooklyn! A 12-year veteran, he will be just 30 years old this coming 1936 campaign. With a career batting average of .312, it is hard to see how they can go wrong. Born in Chicago, Freddie made the Giants as a third baseman when he was just 18 years old. That fall, thanks to an injury to Heinie Groh, he was the regular player at that slot for the World Series. Talk about being on top of the world! He did well at bat against the Senators, knocking out 10 hits, four runs batted in, and a .333 average. If Lindy can overcome the injuries that have plagued him the last few seasons, Brooklyn has made a bargain!
About the Series
The Helmar T206 series is one of our boldest and most important projects. Each card is the same size as the original American Tobacco 1909-1911 T206 cards, though the Helmar T206s are thicker and sturdier. Each Helmar T206 is made from an original, exclusive painting. Cuban stars, Babe Ruth with the Red Sox, Negro Leaguers, and Ty Cobb shaking hands with Honus Wagner are some of the most popular Helmar T206s.
We also spend a huge amount of time creating evocative, humorous, interesting backs. In creating these cards, we have a deep appreciation for the unknown artists who brought the original T206s to life.
Oddities: Card #26, Fred Clarke, has two versions. One has the painting cropped at about the knees. The second has a closer cropping of the head and chest. The fuller figure is much more rare. A similar situation exists for card #501, Tom Jones. The closer cropping is rarer and is found only with the Colgan's Chips logo in the bottom right corner.
A handful of test cards were made with proposed back designs that were never used. They are hand marked as such. The fronts featured either Walter Johnson or Rabbit Maranville.
