About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: One of the toughest infielders in the Negro Leagues. Sherwood started his career with the Harlem Globetrotters Baseball team in 1946. He proved himself a power-hitter, batting in 17 home runs but batted only .250. He choked up the next season and his batting average improved greatly. After 3 seasons with the Indianapolis Clowns, Brewer came to the Monarchs in 1953 as their regular second baseman. He is 32 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. He bats and throws right-handed. The retiring of manager Buck O’Neil last year has put Sherwood in line to manage the Monarchs for the upcoming season.
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.
