About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar “This Great Game” card back: Few players have had a love affair with a ballpark like that between Edwin “Duke” Snider and Ebbets Field. The strong, lefthanded slugger frequently sends the baseball soaring over the right field wall, which delights the rooters in Flatbush. Snider was a four-sport star in high school in southern California, starring in baseball, basketball, football, and track & field. Duke missed two years of ball-playing when he served in the U.S. Navy in World War II. He has movie star good looks and the batting stats to back up his lofty status among the best players in the game.
About the Series
Helmar continues to delight as the This Great Game franchise roars into the 1960’s! This can only be described as a startling, groundbreaking issue. This Great Game, the 1960’s takes no prisoners—every effort has been made to leave collectors in awe. This is no overstatement. Sanjay Verma, master of the gouache miniature, returns to create more of his special brand of magic with the player portraits. The front card design has been carefully crafted to have that familiar 1960’s feel—without being a stogy derivative of graphic roads thoroughly mined. Player selection is typically Helmar in that the nearly forgotten are celebrated alongside immortals. What is possible with card backs, normally designed as after-thoughts, have been completely reimagined in a way that makes them just as important as the fronts. The formation of the backs recognizes that the 1960’s were of time of upset, re-thinking, revolt. In art we celebrated (or endured) Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, among many others. But what did we tack up on our walls? Black light posters—gaudy, bold and scandalous. This series isn’t just imaginative—it is visionary! 2.7" x 4.75", thick stock.
