About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: The first thing you notice about Jackie is his blazing speed, unusual for a man that weighs 195 pounds. He’s also quick in the field, whether he’s playing second, third, or first base. He started with the Kansas City Monarchs for two seasons before signing with the Montreal Royals for the 1946 campaign. It was a rip-roaring year, and Jackie batted .349 with 40 stolen bases. The rise to the Dodgers and fast company the following year did little to slow him down. In fact, he was the difference that enabled Brooklyn to take the crown. In 1949 he batted .342 and swiped 37 bases, with the team taking honors once more.
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.
