About the Player
Ty Cobb says: “Charlie [Heinie] Wagner, of the Boston Red Sox, is still another man considered a star by Big Leaguers who has made himself a top-notcher with his brains and not through natural ability. Ball players rated Wagner to be the most valuable man in the Boston infield in the year that the Red Sox won the championship of the world, yet Yerkes and Gardner had more natural ability than the German, I think. But it was his fast thinking that stopped many a rally by opponents, and he was the man who held the infield together and started most of the plays that retired the opposing side, for which the Red Sox were famous that season. I consider Wagner to be the second best short stop in the American League, with Jack Barry shading him just a little.”
About the Series
The Helmar T206 series is one of our boldest and most important projects. Each card is the same size as the original American Tobacco 1909-1911 T206 cards, though the Helmar T206s are thicker and sturdier. Each Helmar T206 is made from an original, exclusive painting. Cuban stars, Babe Ruth with the Red Sox, Negro Leaguers, and Ty Cobb shaking hands with Honus Wagner are some of the most popular Helmar T206s.
We also spend a huge amount of time creating evocative, humorous, interesting backs. In creating these cards, we have a deep appreciation for the unknown artists who brought the original T206s to life.
Oddities: Card #26, Fred Clarke, has two versions. One has the painting cropped at about the knees. The second has a closer cropping of the head and chest. The fuller figure is much more rare. A similar situation exists for card #501, Tom Jones. The closer cropping is rarer and is found only with the Colgan's Chips logo in the bottom right corner.
A handful of test cards were made with proposed back designs that were never used. They are hand marked as such. The fronts featured either Walter Johnson or Rabbit Maranville.
