About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: This hard-driving backstop knows how to push his team to be their very best. With the Philadelphia Athletics he prodded them to three appearances in the World Series. Excellent fielder with a bullet throw to second base. Eight of nine seasons with Philly he batted .290 or better, his high mark being .357 in 1930. Won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1928, largely due to his intense play rather than his batting statistics that year. Started playing in 1923 with the Dover, Delaware, Senators. Batted .322 for them. Next season played with the Portland Beavers in the Pacific Coast League, batting .333. Those high averages were a sign of good things to come.
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.
