Rock Greats Collector's Cards
   Music Nostalgia/M.S.I.

   Series 1 - 1982
   Series 2 - 1982
   Series 3 - 1984
   Series 4 - 1985
   Series 5 - 1986
   Series 6 - 1988

Notes: This is really a series of six different sets that were issued over a seven-
year period. We assume that they might also have been packaged as an 'omnibus'
collection, otherwise it makes no sense for price guides to imply that this was a
single set.  Each factory-sealed set consisted of 45 cards, marketed mainly through
advertisements in the trade publication Goldmine.  Card fronts have black-and-
white photos and card backs show descriptive text on performers and hit records.
The Elvis Presley card #85 and The Beatles card #211 command premium prices
separately, and many unsealed sets missing those cards might be found at perhaps
half the cost of the complete series/subset. Rhanks to Steve Lillard for the original 
lists and to Tom in CT for the update!
