Though I think some are attractive, I will pass. The costs are just out of line for what they are in my opinion, but obviously, some folks disagree…and if that's what makes them happy, I'm all for it.

These are very nice cards and I praise the maker for the great artistic work. But yes they are just to expensive. I lost out last night on a Pop Llyod T201 looking card that was very nice. But upper $20's is just to much for a new card.
I also do not buy that new crap cards coming out of packs that have pieces of cut uniforms on them either. To expensive and will never hold the value they are today. Much rather spend my money on pre-war or pre-1975 cards. But if prices come down on Helmar, I'd pop for a couple. Peter Barrows

I've got to admit, I am completely smitten with these.
    They put the big baseball card companies trying to cash in on vintage nostalgia to shame. Look at this 2014 Turkey Red card from Topps. What a joke!  The four cards above were out of my price range, but there are others of second-tire Hall of Famers who I might go after. They capture everything I love about pre-war baseball cards.

I must admit, i dont have any Helmar cards, and have always been negative towards them, but lately i am getting closer and closer to starting to collect one of old Yankee players. They really are well done, and while i hate reprints beyond belief, they are not reprints, so look out world, i may soon be entering the Helmar collecting world!!!!

They are a nice idea and they have good quality, but they serve to confuse new collectors of pre-WWII cards.
