1964 Topps Hard Day’s Night trading cards are not the most exciting products to feature The Beatles but they do offer fans of the band a glimpse into the filming process of one of rock’s best films.

The checklist includes 55 cards with black and white images from the film, promo shoots, and behind the scenes. The reverse of each card includes a bit of trivia related to the photo.

Topps was no stranger to The Beatles in 1964. Like many merchandise companies, they cashed in on Beatlemania by releasing several sets in one year. Along with this film set is Beatles Plaks, Beatles Color, and The Beatles Diary. Topps would repeat this release model in 1966 with several Batman trading card sets. Beyond these 1964 releases, Topps would never produce another Beatles set and it would be 30 years before any company tackled the Fab Four.

Our checklist includes all of the cards released in this collection. The cards do not have titles so the beginning of the text is often used as a card title among collectors. Clicking a link will direct you to an affiliate retailer or to relevant eBay listings.
