About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: “Nellie” is coming off his MVP season for the AL Champs. He hit .306, and compiled an on-base average of .380, as well as committing just 10 errors at second base, good for a .988 fielding percentage. He and shortstop Luis Aparicio comprise a brick wall in the middle infield. Nellie has led the league in hits four times. He rarely misses a game, and rarely strikes out. He only stole 5 bases last year, and cracked only 2 homers. He bats left, throws right. He is 5’10,” 160 pounds. Some call him “Mighty Mite.”
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.
