About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Fellow ballplayers call him “The Mechanical Man.” Never has a ballplayer been so devoid of flair or “color.” He doesn’t say much, doesn’t show much emotion. “Charlie” has, simply, become one of the best second basemen ever. Since 1927, he’s hit better than .298 every year. He led the league in hits with 215 in 1929, and with 214 in ’34. He cracks doubles with the best of them. Charlie is an outstanding second baseman, displaying no flash, while making baseball aficionados nod their heads in appreciation.
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.
