Hand-made collectible art card
The 1989 Topps All Stars are instantly recognizable by hobbyists. The waving ribbon and script made a lasting impression due to its mass production. Experts estimate that over 3,500,000 of each card in this set was printed for distribution.
My repeat pattern on these vintage gums sticks is meant to convey the mass print production of this Junk Wax favorite.
I'm excited to offer this design at a lower price point for my collectors, as less time & materials are required to make this piece of gum art.

Designer gum sticks. Pop art that actually pops!
My G-Sticks are a series of bubble gum artwork, inspired by that one stick of gum that was stuck to the last card in the wax pack. Typically tilted by 9 degrees, as a nod to the starting 9 on the diamond.
Here's what you'll receive with this order
- My original ink illustration, directly onto a vintage piece of wax pack bubble gum.
- Each illustrated gum stick is backed by a custom-designed setting, and typically placed in the exact position in which the image would appear on the actual card.
- These art cards may be created using a heavy 75pt black stock, an original card, or just the clear case by itself.
- Cards are protected inside an Ultra Pro One Touch magnetic card holder... finished with my matching Rosen signature label.
- My G-Sticks made with black stock are signed on the back, and all cards will ship with bonus autographed items.
