Comments on this Card
Two sided dexterity hand puzzle. Young Ty at his best, surrounded by a tire with an advertising message. The reverse shows dice outcomes.
About the Player
Ty Cobb on Ty Cobb: "Many fans have asked me why I always swing three bats. Originally it was my intention to make the one bat feel lighter when I went to the plate, and this practice has developed the muscles of my shoulders and back wonderfully, because the three sticks weigh approximately one hundred and twenty ounces. But I have had great luck in hitting while swinging three bats, and I would not give it up now at any price. Aside from the superstition of it, I believe the juggling of three bats, while waiting for my turn, has done me a lot of good, since it has developed me from a rather slight build to a player who is very strong in the back and arms, which strength enables me to drive the ball.”
About the Series
T206 size, Our Guy cards burst with color, front and back. Each card shows the player in fine detail and color, just as T206-era artists might have liked their work to appear had the technology been available. We consider it a subset of Helmar T206. This series has 179 cards at 1.625" x 2.65". Twenty of each card were made. Included within this series is a subset of 2.5" dexterity puzzles that act as colorful game pieces. Each puzzle was produced in a quantity of 27. There is one card of Sam Crawford that was made with the "dancing cigars" back that is found in the Helmar t206 series. It was made as a test back but did not proceed to production. It is in a West Coast private collection at this time.
