A History of Beatles Trading Cards
Despite being one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of the 20th century, there are surprisingly few Beatles trading card sets.
Beatles
The Beatles are the most celebrated and exalted rock bands of all time and nearly 50 years after their final recording sessions, remain one of the most covered acts in history.
Releasing their first LP in 1963 and launching the British Invasion in February of 1964, the cultural impact that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr had in their seven years as recording artists can not be overstated.
The band remains the best selling band of all time, despite not being an active recording unit since 1970, and hold American and British records for most number one records and singles by a group.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, their first year of eligibility.
Hero Habit will provide musical analysis and essays dedicated to the band.
