Every card is double sleeved and in mint condition, stored in a large collectors box. Each set comes with its original case as well. AUTHORIZED LIMITED EDITION TRADING CARDS. Okay, this is a project Frank Harlan completed in 1993. This project spun out of another that was going on at the time. Harlan was producing a weekly TV series known as NorthWest Rock Music Video. A TV program where NW Bands hosted the show while presenting Music Videos released by other NW Bands. The year it premiered (1992) Harlan was creating Collectable Trading Cards featuring each band that hosted the program. Viewers could visit sponsor locations and collect the cards. The plan was to continue releasing new cards as new episodes were created.
Although more episodes were completed, the cards stopped at #18. However, there were many bands without a video who also wanted a card. So in an moment of sheer wisdom, Harlan thought, Hummm, maybe a boxed set of Trading Cards could introduce some of the "Other bands" in the region.
He put together NW Bands and Labels Volume One. It was a hit with bands but a bust with trading card influencers at the time because the cards were not the standard dimensions.
The sizing was not a mistake. Again, Frank sized the cards so if they were mixed with other trading cards, you could stack them and shake out the Bands And Labels cards. The concept was based on the trick for "TV Magic Cards". Following Volume One the demand grow to be a part of the card sets.
So, Volume Two and Three were compiled and released. This time he listened to the Trading Card reviews and designed the cards to the standard dimensions. 200+ sets of each volume was distributed to A&R Reps to introduce other bands in the Pacific Northwest that were not the top 4 trending bands at the time -- Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.
