About the Player

A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: A Yankee for every one of his major league seasons, “Bill” and roommate Lou Gehrig are the stalwart souls of the “Bronx Bombers.” Bill has batted over .300 ten out of eleven years, with a high of .362 in 1936. He hits for power and strikes out less than once per week. Bill is an excellent handler of the pitching staff, and excellent at throwing out runners. Never one to lead the league in any category, nevertheless he’s the kind of player every team covets. He has played in eight World Series, and his Yanks have won seven of them. He bats left and throws right. He is a solid 6’1” and 185 pounds.

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'.
