About the Player
Ty Cobb says: “Bobby Wallace, for several seasons the shortstop of the St. Louis Browns, has much of my admiration and respect for his ability. In the first place, Wallace has been working with bad legs for several seasons, but he has been doing as much damage as any shortstop with whole legs, and a team around him of the caliber of the St. Louis Browns, could be expected to do. He is very brainy, and the one man playing shortstop who absolutely knows how to cover the position with the greatest effect all the time. His brains kept him in the game for a long time after he became badly worn and frayed physically.”
About the Series
Seven layers make up a Helmar Oasis card. Each layer has to fit perfectly. It takes a long time to construct each card, then scuff it to make it seem well-worn; it's already well-loved, by us. Oasis is designed to evoke the Gaslight Style, a name applied to commercial trade signs of the 1870's through 1890's, in an era that succumbed to electric light. The essence of Helmar Oasis is depth. The pictures of the players arise in a shadowy light, to seem like they're almost emerging from another plane of existence. Each card is about 2.65' x 4'.
