About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: When Uncle Robbie Robinson took the reigns in Brooklyn for the 1914 season, Jake Daubert was already firmly established at the first sack and as a team leader. The job should be his for a long time to come as through 1916 he has failed to bat .300 only once, his rookie season of 1910. His high so far is .350, which he did in 1913. Wilbert Robinson has sure done Brooklyn a good turn in the three seasons that he has managed there. The first year, 1914, they finished in fifth place. The following year they jumped to third and last season, 1916, they won the championship. The man sure knows his baseball!
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.
