1991 Brockum RockCards have all the heavy guitars, big hair and tight clothes the late 1980s and early ’90s were known for in music at the time. It’s a release that’s both comprehensive and focused, offering a deep dive into the bands and artists famous at the time. And while it’s a relatively straightforward release, the sheer size of it means rare and early trading card appearances for a lot of people.
1991 Brockum RockCards Checklist Details
Brockum was no stranger to rock music and merchandise prior to the release of this set. However, it was t-shirts that they were best known for. This marks their lone foray into the trading card realm.
At 288 cards, the base set is a big one. Besides covering a lot of ground as far as the number of acts, it does so two ways. Lots of bands take up spots on the checklist, but so do individual bandmates. The result is something much more rounded. AC/DC, Motley Crue, Poison and Skid Row are just some of the mainstream metal music acts found in the set.
Design-wise, things are basic with a colored border and photo on the front with both the musician’s name and the logo of their band. Backs are highlighted by a short bio as well as info like their birthday and the instrument they play.
1991 Brockum RockCards has a couple of additional insert sets.
Grateful Dead spotlights the iconic band and its members. What’s interesting here is the fact that while the band has been featured on trading cards before, these cards have members — including Jerry Garcia — appearing solo. This might not seem significant, but it is. The group takes their band status seriously.
Nine holograms are also randomly inserted in packs. These are smaller than regular cards and have band logos on them.
Artwork Stick-Ons are one per pack and cover a few different bands including Iron Maiden.
It’s worth noting that among the 1991 Brockum RockCards promos is Guns N’ Roses frontman, Axl Rose. This is the only place he appears in the product as Rose wasn’t on the final checklist.
