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
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.
