About the Player

The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: After all those years together in the Pittsburgh outfield, the Waner boys will again be playing against each other on different teams in 1943. Last year Lloyd batted .261 for Philadelphia while Paul hit .258 for Boston. Those marks were a far cry from their record with the Pirates. Lloyd batted over .300 10 years in a row; Paul did it 12 straight years and won 3 batting crowns with a high of .380 in 1927, the year the bros. faced the Yankees in the World Series.

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.
