The two companies have combined to grade 383 Helmar stamps total of all subjects. Out of those 383, 263 are GOOD or worse!. This is the ONLY graded SGC Downey and PSA has graded one AUTHENTIC and one POOR. There are only 34 examples of ANY Helmar grading higher than this one, and frankly if it weren't for the centering we think this is an EX/MT card from a wear standpoint. Clean front and back with minor corner touches and great image and color it's hard to imagine a better survivor of this flimsy and easily damaged issue.

Long-time friend of the company Carl Frysinger recently passed and made arrangements to consign his collection. With a collection that stretched from 1887 - 2022 and was as close to comprehensive as we've ever seen, he was one of the foremost Phillies collectors in the hobby. In his memory The Collector Connection will be donating 1% of our portion of the proceeds of the sale of his items to the Central PA Foodbank in Carl’s name.
