Hand-painted collectible baseball card
The COVID-shortened season of 2020 is just about the weirdest season we've ever seen. No fans... a 60-game schedule... 16 teams in the postseason (including 2 below .500, while the defending champs sit at home)... 7-inning double headers... DH in the NL... and a runner on second to start extra innings.
I wanted to capture all that weirdness in the best way I could: by producing the final standings. They'll never look like this again.
My bubble gum texture is painted on the backs of 2020 Topps Heritage, based on the 1971 set (originally packaged in wax with a stick of gum). I've chosen a card from each division-winner.
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.
