About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: After a sore arm limited shortstop Wright to 71 games with Brooklyn in 1933, he is trying a comeback in 1935 with the Chicago Americans. Pittsburgh brought him to the big leagues from K.C. in 1924, and he was so good the Pirates moved Rabbit Maranville to second base. Glenn hit over .300 3 times and led Pitt. to two World Series. He batted .321 in 1930 for the Brooks and smashed 22 home runs, the most by any ss in either league.
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.
