Comments on this Card
The figure in this design is very much like Crawford's puzzle number 183 in the same series. In this case the uniform is white, however, and the advertisement is for Dunlop Tyres.
About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Samuel Earl Crawford was born in Wahoo, Nebraska, on April 18, 1880, hence the moniker that his teammates like to use: “Wahoo Sam.” 1899 is a year that Sam will remember well. Cincinnati in the senior circuit called him up to join the big time. He’s best known as a Detroiter now, having roamed Navin Field’s green pastures with Cobb for some time. He loves to hit triples, in his first year with Detroit he smacked 25 and led the league. Wahoo Sam is a full 6 feet tall and weighs 190 lbs.
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.
