About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: 1935 saw Moe moving from Cleveland to catching duties in Boston with the Red Sox. While he did a good job at the bat, jumping his batting average almost 30 points to .286, he still found himself backing up All-Star teammate Rick Ferrell, who batted .301. Moe’s favorite game of last year was in front of a home crowd on July 24. While catching a complete game victory over Cleveland, Moe pounded in all 3 Boston runs with a homer. The final score was 3-1 and his heroics that afternoon raised his season average at the time to .356.
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.
