About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Here’s the “other” hard-hitting first sacker in New York. Known as “High-Pockets”, this 30 year old San Francisco native can poke the pill as far as anyone in the game. He came to the Giants for a cup of coffee back in 1915 as a19 year old. It was slow going for a couple of years and Manager McGraw traded him to Pittsburgh part way through the 1917 season. He must have regretted it right off because Kelly was back with the Giants before the season was over. Since then he’s led the league in homers once and runs batted in twice. His high was just a couple years ago when he smacked in 136.
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'.
