About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Fellow ballplayers call him “The Mechanical Man.” Never has a ballplayer been so devoid of flair or “color.” He doesn’t say much, doesn’t show much emotion. “Charlie” has, simply, become one of the best second basemen ever. Since 1927, he’s hit better than .298 every year. He led the league in hits with 215 in 1929, and with 214 in ’34. He cracks doubles with the best of them. Charlie is an outstanding second baseman, displaying no flash, while making baseball aficionados nod their heads in appreciation.
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.
