About the Player
John J. McGraw says: “There have been many great third basemen, and I have had several on my teams, but in my mind there is no question that the honor of the All-American third baseman of all time should go to Jimmy Collins. I select Jimmy for his general excellence as a fielder, a hitter and a man. He was a great fellow on and off the field and a credit to baseball.”
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.
