Comments on this Card
From a painting by J. S. Pedley
About the Player
A short bio from the Boston Garter Game of the Century card back: The Yankees paid S. F. of the PCL $35,000 for Vernon Gomez, and the high-kicking pitcher has been worth every shekel. Only 24 years old Gomez is already going after his third straight 20-win season. A native of Rodeo, California, “Lefty” won 21 games in 1931 and another 24 last year. If Gomez sees action in the coming mid-season World’s Fair exhibition game at Comiskey Park, his smoking fast ball is sure to give National Leaguers fits. Lefty’s wife, Broadway star June O’Dea, will be on hand to cheer for her mate.
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.
