Okay, I’ll trade you a Charlie for two Micks….
The Rolling Stones have announced a partnership with collectibles company Panini America to create the first fully licensed trading card set focusing on what else…the Rolling Stones.
The set will consist of 100 base cards featuring photos and images from throughout their 60+ years together along with special cards inserted into random packs of Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie.
“The Rolling Stones are an iconic brand, are integral to the history of music, and have millions of dedicated fans across the globe,” said Panini America CEO Mark Warsop. “We are proud to be partnering with them and to share our products celebrating their legacy and so many of their memorable moments. We think that fans will be very excited.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with Panini on this career-spanning collection that celebrates the history, success and continued global appeal of The Rolling Stones,” added Matt Young, president of Universal Music Group merchandise and brand management partner Bravado. “Panini’s focus on premium design and collectability make this a perfect partnership for Rolling Stones fans all around the world and we can’t wait for them to see what is planned.”
I don’t know who these are marketed for but do kids still put them in the wheels of their bikes? Not for nothing but I would rather have a rookie Mickey Mantle than a Ronnie Wood.
