1993 Collect-A-Card American Bandstand trading cards delve into the decades-long running television show. In doing so, it also charts the popular music landscape from the 1950s through to the early days of MTV. It’s not a complex or valuable set, but it’s somewhat remarkable when you delve into the breadth of artists featured, many of whom don’t have a lot of mainstream trading cards.
1993 Collect-A-Card American Bandstand Checklist Details
Consisting of 100 cards, the base set is the core of the release. Dick Clark, the show’s host and face, is included a handful of times, showing how he and the show changed over the eras.
The remainder of the set has chart-topping music acts who appeared on American Bandstand. By today’s standards, it’s quite the festival with headliners like Buddy Holly, Peter Frampton, Mick Fleetwood, Marie Osmond, Otis Redding, Chaka Khan and Devo.
Cards have black borders on both sides. There’s a photo of the act on the front while backs have brief bios as well as notes on their American Bandstand performances.
Inserts are tough to find in 1993 Collect-A-Card American Bandstand packs. The only chase set, Gold Foil Signatures, consists of just three cards, each with a print run of 100 copies.
A tin factory set also has an Embossed Hologram card.
Today, 1993 Collect-A-Card American Bandstand trading cards are still fairly common and don’t cost a lot at both the box and set levels.
