About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: When regular catcher Bill Dickey takes the day off he can rest easy knowing Benny is on the job. A good handler of pitchers that knows the right pitch to call, Benny is also a fan favorite due to his great sense of humor. At 5 feet and 7 inches, 168 pounds, he is more known for his fielding than his long ball hitting. He may still be looking for his first homer after playing ten years in the big leagues but Benny can still sting the ball. His lifetime average is a respectable .255 and his fielding average is .988.
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.
