The seller ended the auction early. I guess he realized Froggy died 46 years before the release of this particular video....

eBay URLs never come out right when posted here, but if you copy and paste the URL in the address bar (but delete the space between the "e" and "w" at the end of the link), you'll see the auction for Volume 10 VHS from the Cabin Fever video series signed by ol' Froggy himself!

I heard that he rarely ever signed stuff after he died.

Where did you hear that Froggy didn't sign auto's much? Also i wonder why Froggy would sign a cabin fever volume when he wasn't in any of those? Unless there are some MGM's on there  |

Well, no one hardly signs anything after they die, Froggy0705  . And there are no MGMs on any Cabin Fever tapes. |

It was a joke. The video was made a few decades after Froggy died, so the odds are pretty good that he didn't sign any of them. I have no clue how often he signed when he was alive. My guess would be that he did not sign too many as a kid. He died as a teenager, so he was not around to experience any of the waves of popularity, after he left the series. Most of the Our Gang autographs you see are from the ones who lived at least until the late 1970's.

I heard that Froggy had actually died years earlier, while still in the gang, and was replaced by a lookalike, and that the filmmakers sprinkled clues in the films revealing this. For instance, in "Captain Spanky's Lonely Hearts Club Showboat," Froggy spends the entire reel with his back to the camera. And if you play 'When Big Profundo Sang Low C,' from "Ye Olde Mystery Tours" backwards, you can hear him say "I'm not really Froggy - he died years ago - honestly - I'm not making this up." And in "Abbey Lak A Goat," Froggy is the only one who stinks BEFORE applying the cleaning tonic, a clear sign of being dead.

But he was still signing autographs, until he died again in Vietnam- along with Beaver Cleaver.

lol that's crazy! Anyways Froggy was the man in those mgm ones! He died in 1948. Dang that was a long time ago but actually he wasn't the first though Chubby and Wheezer died before he did. Although Froggy was the youngest at 16.

I think I read where another fat kid (a bit player in a couple of films) was the first to die. That could be wrong, though.
