About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: “Happy Jack” won 28 games with Pittsburgh in 1902, following with 21 for the Highlanders. Last year he won a remarkable 41, making his three year total 90 games the victor. Equally noteworthy, perhaps, was his 454.2 innings pitched last season, easily the best in the league. Born in North Adams, Mass., during 1874. He is 5 feet and 9 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds.
About the Series
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 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 earlier card in the series. Each hand puzzle consitutes a game piece that includes three dice with outcomes detailed on the puzzle's backs. Two new players were introduced within the series extension, #47 (Lazzeri) and #81 (Cravath). Additionally, the last two puzzles feature John McGraw in multi-player illustrations. The back of #83 features a checklist.
