About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Catcher Rick and pitcher Wes are together in Boston now and form the best brother battery in history. Older brother Rick came to the Sox from the Browns in 1933, and Boston stole Wes from Cleveland for 2 players plus 25 grand in 1934. Last year workhorse Wes won 25 games and led the AL in starts, complete games, and innings pitched. He also batted .347 and hit 7 HR. Rick handled the pitchers with kid gloves, batted .301, and knocked in four runs to help kid brother win his 25th game.
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.
