NORTHWEST BANDS & LABELS AUTHORIZED LIMITED EDITION TRADING CARDS Set of all three volumes created by Frank Harlan, 1993. The majority of the packaged card sets went to MoPOP (EMP Experience Project) to be properly stored and archived. 200+ sets were distributed to A&R reps to introduce other bands in the Pacific Northwest that were not the top 4 trending bands at the time -- Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. Harlan was producing a weekly TV series known as NorthWest Rock Music Video. A TV program where NW Bands hosted the show while presenting Music Videos released by other NW Bands. The year it premiered (1992) Harlan was creating Collectable Trading Cards featuring each band that hosted the program. Viewers could visit sponsor locations and collect the cards. The plan was to continue releasing new cards as new episodes were created. Although more episodes were completed, the cards stopped at #18. However, there were many bands without a video who also wanted a card. Hence the production of these great cards!
