About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Teamed up with DiMaggio and Henrich, third-yr. man Keller formed best OF in AL last year. Helped Yanks regain top spot in 1941 over 2nd place Boston by slugging 33 home runs, scoring 102 runs, knocking in 122, and working 102 free passes. Charlie hit .389 in the World Series and broke hearts all over Brooklyn when his 2-run 9th-inning double keyed New York’s crucial Game Four victory. Scribes call him “King Kong” because of his immense strength.
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.
