About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: This tall right-hander has a big windup that confuses batters. With his long arms swinging and his leg high in the air, it is almost impossible to pick out the ball among all the chaos. Paige knows it, too, sometimes telling his fielders to sit down while he strikes out the side. A son of Mobile, Alabama, LeRoy seems to flourish as a traveling man. Not only does his ballplaying take him from city to city, he likes to switch teams nearly as easily as changing his shoes. In this way he has become famous throughout the baseball playing world.
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.
