About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: This young rightfielder is originally from the Kansas City area. He made his first appearance with Brooklyn in 1912, when he was 21. The next campaign he was a regular player. Rooters were impressed with the 7 home runs that he smashed that year and his .272 batting average was a sign of good things to come. Wilbert Robinson, the new skipper of the Brooklyn club, is anxious to pull “Casey” aside and teach him some of the finer points of the game. Stengel is a willing pupil and we can expect his value to rise with both management and the fans.
About the Series
Helmar continues to delight as the This Great Game franchise roars into the 1960’s! This can only be described as a startling, groundbreaking issue. This Great Game, the 1960’s takes no prisoners—every effort has been made to leave collectors in awe. This is no overstatement. Sanjay Verma, master of the gouache miniature, returns to create more of his special brand of magic with the player portraits. The front card design has been carefully crafted to have that familiar 1960’s feel—without being a stogy derivative of graphic roads thoroughly mined. Player selection is typically Helmar in that the nearly forgotten are celebrated alongside immortals. What is possible with card backs, normally designed as after-thoughts, have been completely reimagined in a way that makes them just as important as the fronts. The formation of the backs recognizes that the 1960’s were of time of upset, re-thinking, revolt. In art we celebrated (or endured) Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, among many others. But what did we tack up on our walls? Black light posters—gaudy, bold and scandalous. This series isn’t just imaginative—it is visionary!
