About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Boston is hoping for big things in 1940 from little Jimmy Outlaw who hit .263 in trial with Bees last year. Originally property of Cincinnati, got 3 hits in major league debut vs. Dizzy Dean in 1937. Started as third sacker with Jeannette in Penn. State League in 1934 but plays outfield now. Hit .339 for Syracuse of International League in 1938. Traded with Buddy Hassett to Boston from Brooklyn for Ira Hutchinson and Gene Moore.
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.
