About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: A Yankee for every one of his major league seasons, “Bill” and roommate Lou Gehrig are the stalwart souls of the “Bronx Bombers.” Bill has batted over .300 ten out of eleven years, with a high of .362 in 1936. He hits for power and strikes out less than once per week. Bill is an excellent handler of the pitching staff, and excellent at throwing out runners. Never one to lead the league in any category, nevertheless he’s the kind of player every team covets. He has played in eight World Series, and his Yanks have won seven of them. He bats left and throws right. He is a solid 6’1” and 185 pounds.
About the Series
The Helmar R-319 series was originally 180 cards. Then we expanded it to 240. Then 308. Right now it’s complete at 511 cards. The design is based on one of the greatest baseball card sets of all time, the 1933 Goudey set. The 1933 Goudey set has, famously, four Babe Ruths. We have many of the greatest players from Goudey set, and also Babe Didrikson, Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Martin Dihigo, many other Cuban and Japanese players, and Negro Leaguers. R-319s have a good amount of text on the reverse. When you’re reading the back of a Helmar R-319 we aim to transport you back in time to a moment in the player’s career. Fleetwood Walker and the color barrier coming down. The great Rube Foster’s breakdown. Swede Risberg being banned from baseball. Given the scope, the expense and the complexity for a small company or artist to put together such a big set of original art, no one else may ever attempt to create a set this ambitious.
