Honoring hot dog vendors, the true M.V.P.s of the ballpark

Ah, baseball cards. The oldest get-rich-scheme in the game. Unfortunately, that didn’t really pan out, but here’s a baseball card set you’ll want to collect just for fun. To honor those who serve up more than 18 million hot dogs to fans each year, we created the first-ever set of trading cards championing the unsung heroes of the game – hot dog vendors. 

Following a nationwide search, this unique trading card set features 12 hot dog vendors forever immortalized for their dedication to the craft. Hailing from Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and beyond, from a rookie to a 40-year veteran, the trading cards feature vendors that have more than 220 years of experience combined. The cards were based on classic baseball card designs, and were printed in a limited edition run.
