About the Player
From the 'This Great Game' card back: When you can’t be bothered to remember anyone’s name and you call everyone “Bobo,” that’s when you get the nickname for yourself. Add an aw-shucks, fun-loving attitude, and Newsom is one of baseball’s most beloved and popular players. A character on and off the field. Bobo is no slouch with a glove on his hand: he’s nearly 200 wins after earning 11 victories for the Senators at the age of 38 in 1946. This is the third stint for much-traveled Bobo in D.C., who started his career in 1929.
About the Series
The Helmar R-319 series was originally 180 cards. Then we expanded it to 240. Then 308. Right now it’s 385 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.
