Helmar Boston Garters
I'm kind of proud of this new series, there will be 42 in the set. Thought you might enjoy a picture of the Ty Cobb.

I think the Helmar cards are great.
They are fantasy pieces that are very collectible. Here's the original artwork & finished product of the '33 Goudey'ish Eddie Plank. Plank passed away in 1926

Thank you. We make original paintings, usually with opaque watercolors. Then the paintings are scanned and, in this case, the text and logos were added in photoshop. Normally the backs are done in photoshop or photopaint.
The original paintings for this series are 8.5" x 4.25", the same size as the eventual printed card. In this size we can make only 1 new painting a week. So, to do the 42 paintings that we have planned for this series, it will take nearly all year to do. 12 of the 42 are already done. One collector commissioned all 42 paintings this time.

I really like the cards but I just can't bring myself to pay the prices they go for. Have you considered issuing a lower cost "reprint" set?

These are really nice looking cards. Not sure if I would buy, but good product.
I like 19th century. Joe

Helmar Cards :
Love them ! I don't actively collect them, but do have a few pieces in my collection. They make a nice filler for a tough HOFer in your collection if you ever want to pay less. (For example : Turkey Stearnes)

One more example :
I also like them because of the limited examples made. They will not overproduce anything, including this example :
