Game Face gives players the gum-pouch cartoon treatment, while the Flavor inserts borrow Pink Lemonade, Grape and Cotton Candy.
We update this release guide as verified product details develop.
Big League Chew’s cartoon baseball world has become a Pulse card release. The 2026 collaboration carries the gum brand’s exaggerated player illustrations into Game Face, pairs signatures with colorful shredded-gum patterns, and builds insert sets around three named flavors. Big League Chew’s licensing announcement identifies Pulse as its trading-card partner. Brand announcement

The gum brand shapes the actual cards
Nick Kurtz’s Shredded Signatures preview gives a bright pink card a repeating shredded pattern, then leaves a white band across the bottom for the autograph. It is a design connection to the gum itself, rather than a standard baseball card with a sponsor logo added in a corner.
The three Flavor insert sets are Punch Out Pink Lemonade, Grand Slam Grape and Curveball Cotton Candy. Eli Willits’ Cotton Candy preview uses a pale blue surround, a red-uniform batting photograph and a white center that keeps the player clear of the patterned edges.
Game Face and the Chew Crew
Game Face uses illustrated versions of players. Jesús Made’s preview exaggerates the portrait and batting pose in the familiar gum-package style, with his name in a dark blue panel below. Pulse identifies Game Face and The Big League Chew Crew as case-hit inserts; it does not provide numerical pack odds in these product descriptions.
The Chew Crew brings Blaze Bailey, Clutch Clemons and Hook Hiro into the card selection. Those fictional characters and the illustrated ballplayers give this release a subject beyond the autograph list: the baseball personality already associated with the gum. The collaboration licenses the Big League Chew brand; it should not be confused with professional league or team licensing.
