About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Lawrence is a young catcher who played in 83 games for the Yanks during the 1947 campaign. He showed very good power, hitting eleven home runs while batting in fifty-four runners. His average was a solid .280. He had three games where he batted in four runners and three games where he batted in three. He also had a ten game hitting streak. Lawrence was born in St. Louis on May 12, 1925 and is five feet, seven inches tall and weighs 185 pounds. He throws right but bats from the left side of the plate.
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.
