NEW YORK MUTUALS: John Hatfield, Dickey Pearce, Joe Start, Bob Ferguson, Tom Patterson, Dave Eggler, Rynie Wolters, Charlie Mills, Dick Higham.
For your collecting
pleasure, Old Frog is proud to present the 1871 National Association 81
baseball card series, featuring 81 players (including 5 Hall
of Famers) all in authentic uniforms of the original teams. Every
vintage style card in this set is hand cut and "aged" by the artist,
Ken Mars, so that no two will be exactly the same. This exclusive process
utilizes a mixture of ashes from a fire at Wilbert Robinson's old house in
Baltimore, a sprinkle of dirt from the site where Babe Ruth made his
professional debut in 1914, and a dash of espresso coffee grounds.
Please see all pictures and read further for details.
All cards come in CBG hard sleeves for your collecting
convenience.

JOHN MCGRAW TRIBUTE LIMITED EDITION 16 CARD SET
The life of Hall of Famer John McGraw, the
greatest baseball manager ever, told in 16 colorful cards. Limited edition set
with special items in a signed and numbered tin box! Unique limited edition.
Going fast!
~ THE OLD FROG SECRET ~
In 1895, HOF’ers Wilbert Robinson and John
McGraw bought houses next to each other on St. Paul Street in Baltimore. A
friend lived at Robinson’s address in a first-floor apartment for several years
and we spent many hours in Robbie's old living room, but in February 2015, fire
consumed the property. McGraw's place next door was also damaged, but not
nearly as bad, and both properties have since been fixed up. When Robinson’s
home was gutted, I grabbed a large, charred piece of the mantle. Ash collected from
this site was dubbed; "Compound W." - for Wilbert. American League
Park at the corner of 29th and Greenmount in Baltimore, where Babe Ruth made
his professional debut with the International League Orioles in 1914, was a
long fly ball away from where I lived for nearly 20 years. A jar of dirt from
the infield area was obtained and added to the ash from Robinson’s house, and
along with a dash of espresso grounds, this is the secret trinity of
ingredients behind the exclusive Old Frog “aging process” which gives every
hand cut card a unique patina and character. No two cards issued are identical.
~ THE OLD FROG PROMISE – Since 2016 ~
*-Every card back in this set is “aged” with the
exclusive Old Frog ingredients as described above.
*-Every card is hand cut and trimmed. Never mass
produced!
*-Direct from the artist.
*-All cards come in CBG hard sleeves for your
collecting convenience.
Crafted and imbued with baseball history, Old
Frog strives to deliver a unique collecting experience like no other. Please
see my feedback score and reviews. Always willing to make a reasonable
deal on multiple sets, however, please note that I do not sell
single cards since these are printed for me as teams and leaves me with 8
leftovers and an incomplete set.
Hop to it! -Ken Mars
