About the Player
In addition to being a ballplayer worthy of his hall of fame credentials, Fred Clarke was also a highly successful rancher. He made a shrewd investment in real estate that paid off when oil was found on his land. His wealth was estimated at $1,000,000 in 1917--the equivalent of $81,100,000 in 2010. After retiring he escaped three close brushes with death.
About the Series
Rough and tumble early 20th century players spring to life in our new series of Helmar Cabinets. We’ve selected some of our favorite historic photos and have artfully colorized the player figures and set them against original backgrounds that evoke the magnificent style of the period. True to the period, the player images are separate and have been pasted to a colorful, ripple-edged scene of a ballpark.Collect this series and you’ll understand why Helmar is called “The Flavor of the Game”.
Card size: 4” x 6”
