Helmar Brewing Co.
I'm sure most of you received the Old Cardboard email advertisement for Helmar Brewing Co. What do you think about these fantasy cards? Some of these look incredible.

I personally like some of these mock up cards. I worked with the person that makes the Sporting Life Art cards to make a set dedicated to Golfers.
The nice thing with these is you can still collect some beautiful cards that depict players or an era you enjoy collecting but in most cases don’t have to sell a kidney for the cards. The down side…Not sure there is a long term value on these. Here is another art card person I stumbled across, really like how some of their cards look http://stores.ebay.com/arslongaartca...p2047675.l2563 Last edited by Golfcollector; 02-10-2015 at 12:52 PM.

I actually really like some of the designs. I like the fact that they don't restrict themselves to just the superstars. I especially like the Negro League offerings. And some of the back advertisements are very creative and extremely colorful.
I haven't bought any yet, but I like the fact that they aren't trying to mass market the cards or trick people into thinking that they are vintage.

Helmar etc
The cards etc. are very nice and do make it possible to own on a budget. Another artist to check out would be Monty Sheldon. He was doing cards for Helmar when I met him at a Chicago National. I commissioned 4 cards from him and they turned out to be BEAUTIFUL. Sadly my scanner sucks and I can't post. Find him at montysheldon.com

Really like the designs but struggle to pay the asking prices for what feel like novelty cards. Were they in the $5 range, I'd probably buy several.
