Hand-painted collectible baseball card

Fred McGriff was one of the premier hitters of his era. The 5x All-Star first baseman led both leagues in home runs in separate years and won a World Series championship with the 1995 Atlanta Braves. He earned the nickname, "Crime Dog", by ESPN sports broadcaster Chris Berman. It was a play on McGruff, the cartoon dog created to raise children's awareness on crime prevention..


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.
