Anyone Collect Helmar Cards?
 

I just acquired a massive collection of the vintage style Helmar sports cards. It includes many different styles and mediums, including leather, cloth, various sized, and original art cards. I checked out their website and obtained a lot of information but was curious if any collectors knew the more sought after pieces or anything specific, I should be looking for.

I collected a bunch of the R319 cards when they first came out, as well as a couple of Boston Garters.

There's a great website.....[url]https://helmarbrewing.com/[/url]

PM me if you want to see images of the cards I have....

Nope but they look very cool, I get Rube Waddells turn up in my ebay saved searches every once in a while.

I don't collect Broders. I only collect licensed cards. It is a shame that collectors help cheat former players' estates out of licensing income that is due them.

Before you judge, get informed....Helmar cards are based on original artwork....therefore there are no copyright issues....
