Hand-painted collectible baseball card

The Bull: 1968 Topps #34 Al Ferrara

Al Ferrara was born and raised in Brooklyn... playing sandlot ball with fellow Italians Joe Torre and Joe Pepitone. I've illustrated his nickname by referencing the iconic movie poster of Raging Bull... the classic film about Italian New York boxer Jake LaMotta... starring and directed by two more famous New York Italians: Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorsese.

The Baby Bull: 1969 Topps #385 Orlando Cepeda

Orlando Cepeda's father, Pedro, played ball in Puerto Rico and was considered to be one of the greatest players of his generation. Though, because of his skin color... he was never able to play in the Major Leagues. Pedro was known as "Perucho" and "The Bull." So, when his son Orlando started playing ball, they called him "Baby Bull."

I've painted one Cepada card with his autograph, and another with the Puerto Rican flag.


About my collector cards

After purchasing some old wax packs to study the size and texture of gum sticks, I developed my own paint techniques in order to replicate it. Now, I hand-paint bubble gum directly onto vintage baseball cards to create small collectibles.

Here's what you'll receive with this order

  • My original hand-painted gum onto a baseball card.
  • Each collector card is paint-marked with it's edition number.
  • These art cards are protected inside an Ultra Pro One Touch magnetic card holder... customized with my matching Rosen signature label.
  • I do not sign these cards by request. However, your package will include bonus items personally autographed by me.

Expected delivery time for pre-orders

Are you purchasing a pre-order? My pre-order listings are for card art that has not been painted yet. In most cases, I already have the card in stock to paint on, and will create your artwork within a few days of your purchase. Thanks for your patience.
