About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Peripatetic “Billy” is on his fourth major league team, having suited up for the Cleveland Naps, the Pirates, and the Boston Braves. Most recently, Casey Stengel, Dave Bancroft and Bill Cunningham were sent to Beantown in exchange for Southworth and hurler Joe Oeschger. A reliable right fielder, “Billy” can also be counted on to hit right around .300, and take his share of bases on balls. In 1920, he led the NL in caught stealing, with 25, against 23 successful swipes. Perhaps he’s got honest legs. “Billy” bats left, throws right, stands 5’9” and weighs 170 lbs.
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'.
