About the Player

John J. McGraw says: “Frank Chance, in my opinion, is easily entitled to the place as All-National League first baseman. He was manager of the Cubs in the days of our great rivalry. Those were tough, fighting days—every game a scrapping event. There was no weakening or quitting of a team on either side, Frank Chance least of them all. He was always there with the goods as a hitter, a fielder and a base runner. Frank Chance knew baseball from A to Z. There have been mighty few such combinations as Evers, Tinker and Chance.”

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'. Gouache paintings by J. Scott Pedely.
