The Helmar H813-4 Boston Garter series consists of 45 cards, and the design was inspired by one of the most beautiful baseball card sets of all time, the 1912 Boston Garters. The originals showed the sock garters; the Helmar versions refrain from garters, and instead show interesting scenes in the background, or period detail such as a 1912-era telephone. Each card is large at 8.5" x 4.25" and gorgeous. Produced in 2014.
In the fall of 2021 the series was extended with a round, 2.5" dexterity hand puzzle made to match each card in the series. Each hand puzzle constituted a game piece that included 3 dice with outcomes detailed on the puzzle backs. Two new players were introduced within this series extension, #47 (Lazzeri)and #81 (Cravath). Additionally, the last two puzzles (#82 and #83) feature John McGraw in multi-player illustrations. The back of #83 features a checklist.
