About the Player

The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: John Ward is not only the most important ball player in the circuit, he is one of the most prominent men to be found in the country today. It is true that other players may have a bit more talent but Ward’s off-field position as a pioneering unionist has made him a household name. It was Ward that was the brains behind the Player’s League of a couple of seasons ago, that grand experiment that roiled the baseball world and became a warning to tight-fisted capitalists across the fruited plain. The league may have lasted only one season before collapsing but he will never be forgotten for his efforts.

About the Series

The glory of 19th century design is revisited in this series by your friends at Helmar. We've kept the look of the early line drawings but improved them so that the players are recognizable. Yet again, all the artwork is original to Helmar and printed in stunning color. We've chosen a beautiful paper with a soft hand that tested best for the subtle color transitions. Each card is about 3" x 5".
