About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar “This Great Game” card back: As a boy in Puerto Rico, Roberto was a soccer player before he was a baseball star. Now he wows Pittsburgh fans with his feet and his arms, as an All-Star outfielder and batting champion. Clemente rarely sees a pitch he doesn’t swing at, he’s one of baseball’s notorious bad-ball hitters. “I try to knock him down and he hits a pitch to the wall for a triple,” Dodger hurler Don Drysdale says. Clemente saves his best for the Dodgers, who lost him in the Rule 5 Draft to the Bucs. Clemente owns a career batting average over .340 against the Bums.
About the Series
Helmar Imperial Cabinets are mammoth. Each is about the size of a sheet of paper. They are thick, sturdy, and beautiful. There are two series in this set; series one measures 8.25" x 10.875", while series two is a shade smaller. The second series features a multi-colored border. The art was produced using a variety of methods. Each card takes a long time to assemble, to scrape, rub, treat, and transform, so it seems that you are holding a huge, overwhelmingly-beautiful card from the turn of the last century.
