Musician Trading Card Treasure Hunt

Posted on by

By Chris Mixer / cmixer

Collectors can expect to find trading cards featuring musicians in sets like 2005 Fleer American Idol Season 4 featuring Carrie Underwood or 2014 Panini Country Music Trading Cards featuring Miranda Lambert. However, major musical talent can also be found in unexpected places. Some set checklists may surprise even the most seasoned collectors.

Hybrid sets, that feature athletes as well as a variety of pop culture celebrities, continue to be popular. The most recognized hybrid set is Topps’ Allen & Ginter brand, focusing on MLB stars and famous personalities since debuting in 2006. A few of the musicians featured in Allen & Ginter include Post Malone (2019), Axl Rose (2013), and Snoop Dogg (2014, listed as “Snoop Lion” in conjunction with his reggae album).

Topps Allen & Ginter is not the only hybrid set. Upper Deck redeveloped the Goudey line of trading cards in 2007 and their Goodwin Champions brand in 2009. Goudey has included Marky Ramone (2017), Johnny Rotten (2017), and Brandon Boyd of Incubus (in 2019). Some of the acclaimed musicians found in Goodwin Champions include Derek Trucks (2021), Big Boi (2020), and Abe Cunningham of the Deftones (2021).

In other cases, musicians are included as an insert set within a traditional sports product. For example, you can find Jay-Z in 2005 Topps Pristine Baseball, 2005-06 Finest Basketball, and 2005-06 Topps Luxury Box Basketball. In 2004, Donruss launched their “Fans of the Game” inserts. Marky Mark Wahlberg (2022 Donruss Football), Meat Loaf (2005 Donruss Baseball), and Darius Rucker (2004 Playoff Honors Football) have all been included as part of an insert set. In 2008 Upper Deck introduced the set Spectrum Baseball. The ”Spectrum of Stars” insert set included many heavy metal icons like Jani Lane, Vince Neil, and Sebastian Bach. 

Many musicians crossover to acting. Sometimes it’s to show themselves as a diverse talent and other times they are just a super-fan wanting to make an appearance on their favorite show. When this happens, you might find them in an entertainment trading card product. Iggy Pop can be found in 2018 Rittenhouse Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Heroes & Villains. Mick Fleetwood can be found in 2016 Rittenhouse Star Trek: TNG Portfolio Prints Series 2. Ozzy Osbourne can be found in 2002 Inkworks The Osbournes Season 1. Henry Rollins can be found in 2014 Cryptozoic Sons of Anarchy Seasons 1-3. Marilyn Manson can be found in 2015 Cryptozoic Sons of Anarchy Seasons 6-7. David Bowie can be found in 2015 Unstoppable Cards The Man Who Fell to Earth. And Bobby Brown can be found in 2016 Cryptozoic Ghostbusters.

Of course, the highest likelihood of finding a musician in a set that is not music-specific is a brand such as Panini Americana or Leaf Pop Century. These sets bring a broad mix of celebrity-driven content without focusing on a specific license, show, or movie. In Panini Americana you can find Justin Bieber (2011), Vanilla Ice (2015), and Biz Markie (2015). In Leaf Pop Century you can find Weird Al Yankovic (2014), DMX (2012), and Roger Daltrey (2015).

Sketch card sets hold one more surprise. Multiple sets including 2011 Upper Deck Thor Movie Trading Cards and 2012 Cryptozoic The Walking Dead Comic Series 1 feature a contributing artist with a musical background. Billy Martin isn’t just an excellent artist, he is also the rhythm guitarist and keyboardist of the band Good Charlotte. This list doesn’t even scratch the surface of musician trading cards if you consider all the cut signatures that have been included in various products over the years. Fans of musicians can collect trading cards that feature talent ranging from Rock ‘n’ Roll royalty to R&B legends. Sometimes all you have to do is dig a little deeper into the checklists.

The History of Panini Prizm NFL

Posted on by

By Geoff Otto / GeoffO

Panini Prizm has become the currency of the hobby when it comes to football cards. If you want “the one” rookie card of your favorite player, you can’t go wrong getting their Prizm rookie card. This wasn’t always the case. For many years Topps Chrome was the flagship product, Topps was the brand that introduced the refractor and many parallels that we all love. In the 2000s, Topps Chrome looked like a brand that would never be surpassed as the flagship product. From 2009 to 2016, Topps and Panini both held rights to produce NFL-licensed cards. Prizm debuted in 2012 as newcomer Panini’s flagship brand, sparking the competition between Topps and Panini for NFL supremacy.

A massive change in the hobby was coming, in December 2015, it was announced that Panini signed a long-term contract securing the company exclusive trading card and sticker rights with the NFL. As of April 2016, Panini would be the sole manufacturer of NFL and NBA cards. With that announcement Prizm, already a few years into production, secured its spot as the flagship brand by default and became the most desired among collectors. D.J. Kazmierczak, Panini’s vice president of sales and product development at the time of the announcement, acknowledged that some collectors may not embrace Panini’s exclusive football license, regardless of how the company’s products perform in 2016 and beyond. We can say now without a doubt, that Panini Prizm has been embraced.

In my opinion, 2013 through 2016 feature Panini’s worst designs for the Prizm brand. Once Panini had sole NFL rights, the card designs started to move forward. For 2017, Mahomes’ rookie year, the set has a solid design and each year the look has steadily improved. When the pandemic hit in 2020, many new or returning collectors flocked to the hobby. Additionally, that year had possibly the greatest NFL draft class in history. The 2020 Prizm brand had a fantastic design, which led to an unbelievable following of the product. Trying to find a box available for sale, sitting on a shelf that year was like finding a needle in a haystack. Since 2020, who would question that Prizm is the undisputed football product among collectors?

The crazy thing is history may repeat itself and we are about to go through this again! Fanatics has exclusive licenses to the NFL beginning in 2026. Panini, with Prizm, will be on the outside, unable to produce NFL cards Prizm or any other Panini brand. Fanatics bought the Topps company which now raises questions about the football’s flagship product. What will be the new NFL flagship product? Will it return to Topps Chrome? Will the Prizm brand disappear? The coming years will answer those questions, but for now, Prizm remains THE brand collectors love.

Collecting History – How Trading Cards Capture The Eras They Were Printed

Posted on by

By Anonymous COMC User

The best sets don’t just look cool, they completely capture their era. When you look at a 1985 Donruss baseball card, it’s like watching the original Ghostbusters– you feel like you’re back in the 1980s. You see cutting-edge 80s graphics that look dated today, 80s fashion and style, and best of all, the sublime 80s mixture of coolness and cheesiness.
Don’t take my word for it, check out the glorious masterpiece that is 1985 Donruss #651 Two for the Title.

Is this a baseball card or an 80s movie poster? It looks like the cover of the greatest VHS tape of all time. That’s how you capture an era; two iconic 80s stars, two phenomenal 80s mustaches, and total 80s graphics. The cheesy action movie title only makes it better! Plus, Winfield even has a giant lip of tobacco in his mouth. Sadly, like so many great things from the 80s, I bet you can’t get away with that today.

That’s the magic of these old cards, they capture history. Older trading cards show you the style of the time, the attitudes of the time, the humor of the time, the technology of the time, and our heroes of the time.


If you look at any basketball cards from the 1970s you’ll see long hair and afros. For a real treat though, check out the 1971-72 Topps Basketball cards. The colors and graffiti text beautifully capture the style of the time. It all ties together perfectly with 1971-72 Topps Basketball #130 Earl Monroe

First off, Earl looks resplendent. Perfectly cropped goatee and mini afro. He’s ready to hit the disco, and so is this card. Flip it over and what do you see? Another excellent relic of yesteryear that is the old sports card trivia question:
What is the nickname of Earl Monroe? Answer: Earl the Pearl


Sadly, NBA players don’t have awesome nicknames like that anymore. The times keep changing. The Baltimore Bullets moved to Washington DC, eventually changed their name, and replaced their awesome 70s jerseys with a cheesy Space Jam-looking jersey.


Such is life.
The only constant is change.


At least we can take a break from our sprint towards the future by stopping for a moment and appreciating vintage trading cards that remind us of how it used to be. If you really want to go back to the good old days, check out the 1958 Topps baseball cards. I love most every set of Topps baseball cards from the 1950s, except for the 1957 set (boring!), but for the purpose of this exercise, I’m going with the 1958 set.
This set introduces Sport Magazine ’58 All-Star Selection, which is a classic case of showing off graphics that were cutting-edge at the time but now seem dated. For what it’s worth, I still think that the 58 all-stars look awesome! I defy you to look at 1958 Topps #487 Mickey Mantle All-Star and tell me otherwise.

This has such a classic 1950s Americana vibe. I even enjoy the name, Sport Magazine, which was apparently the Sports Illustrated of the mid-40s and 50s before actual Sports Illustrated took over the market. Best of all the actual cards look even nicer than the all-star cards. Want to see a real beauty? Check out 1958 Topps #30 Hank Aaron:

First off, the colors are gorgeous, and I love the old Milwaukee Braves logo. By the way, why did they ever change that? Regardless, my favorite part of this set is that when you flip them over, they’re exploding with 1950s nostalgia.

You can’t find any better, punchier 1950s copy than, “Hank was the bat star of the ’57 series.” And, you can’t beat these graphics. Do you think baseball cards today can show a pot-bellied slob fan raising a beer and saying “Mein Hank?” Of course not!


Future sets may duplicate the delightful card-number-inside-of-a-smiley-face baseball wearing a sideways hat and there have been plenty of remakes that copied the 1958 Topps animation style. However, while you can copy their style, you’ll never be able to relive those glory days. That’s why these sets that capture the essence of an era are so special.
