Very popular among children since the1960s, the trading cards are now quite rare and sought after by collectors. They were manufactured by Panini, the reference in trading cards, but also by various commercial firms which wanted to fidelize their customers with series in various domains (sports, cinema, music...).
Of course the image of Bob Dylan was often used through the years on these cards.
Many of the early items presented here come from David Halpen's Trading Cards album. They are noted below as (David Halpen's). Visit his great webpage and enjoy the slide show.
Thank you also to Hanns-Peter Bushoff for the images from his collection.

We learn a lot here: Dylan was born in "Monnesota", he is famous for his jazz style, one of his hits was Rainy Day "Woman", and Like A Rolling Stone was "ironically" voted by Rolling Stone Magazine as the greatest song of all times, and also he released 95 singles and 90 albums. For sure the author of the text knew his subject! |
