About the Player
Taylor will be 32 years old during the upcoming 1933 season. It will be his 11th year in the big leagues. This centerfielder is just as fast as when he came up with the Cardinals back in 1923. The flyhawk batted about .300 in his years with St. Looie, but they suddenly traded him to Cinci halfway through the 1931 season. Cincinnati wasn’t the place for Taylor, though, as his average and playing time dropped considerably. Last year, in fact, he batted only .243 for the Reds. The Little Rock, Arkansas native is 5’11” and 175 pounds
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.
