About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: One fact speaks mountains about this veteran Giant. Of all four pennants captured by the Giants since 1923, Travis Jackson is the one player to appear on each of those teams. A collision the year before he joined the team nearly ended his life, so every day as a Giant is a bonus. The trading of Dave Bancroft the following year made way for Travis to become the regular shortstop and he has been there ever since. He’s played in four World Series including last year’s loss to the Yankees in six games. Travis managed to bat just .190.
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.
