ROCKARDS
Sometime around 1978, outside of New York City, a few friends hung around a record/book store and conceived the idea of Rockards- A History of Rock n Roll on cards. They were distributed in stores in the N.Y./N.J. area and at concerts, and were quite popular. Plans for national distribution were made, but threats from licensing agents stalled their release. A fire consumed the store where they were kept and only a few survived, some more than others. Only 7 complete sets of 52 cards are known to exist. People have said they were in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and the Allman Brothers Museum. Cleaning the attic we uncovered a few hundred cards brought down from New Jersey. These are all known to exist. Rockards are colorful 5 x 8 heavy-stock paper, with biographies and discographies on the back. We enjoyed making these informative, humorous and quirky tributes, and would like to share them with you. Make sure you check out all the other Rockards on e-bay.
