About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: The first thing you notice about Jackie is his blazing speed, unusual for a man that weighs 195 pounds. He’s also quick in the field, whether he’s playing second, third, or first base. He started with the Kansas City Monarchs for two seasons before signing with the Montreal Royals for the 1946 campaign. It was a rip-roaring year, and Jackie batted .349 with 40 stolen bases. The rise to the Dodgers and fast company the following year did little to slow him down. In fact, he was the difference that enabled Brooklyn to take the crown. In 1949 he batted .342 and swiped 37 bases, with the team taking honors once more.
About the Series
There have been baseball themed games almost as long as the game of baseball has been around. The first baseball parlour game, for example, was advertised in the December, 1866 installment of Leslie Magazine—just a year after Lincoln's assassination! Hundreds of games since that date have delighted fans. However, never to our knowledge has anyone married baseball stars with the popular hand puzzles that were so popular from about 1890 to 1965—until now. We think that you'll spend more quality time with these games than much of the rest of your collection. 2.5" diameter, two sided, glass both sides. Note: puzzles #5 Alexander, 6 Walsh, 20 Ewing, 25 Tinker and 27 Wilson were not issued due to a manufacturing error.
27 puzzles of each number have been produced.
