If you already know what you are looking at then your jaw is already on the floor!!! If you happened to just stumble upon these then be prepared to either be really STOKED or rather indifferent. Let’s just say that we happened to get these from a guy who had been sitting on them since about 1993 and once our very limited supply is gone we have no way of getting more. They are almost twenty years old after all.

Let’s just say that some of us at Merch Bot shouldn’t have been wearing sweatpants when we found these. Mostly it was just the guy who won’t shut up about how rad the Sonics are (not the defunct basketball team R.I.P., but the king of garagebands) that really flipped out.

These are the elusive and obscure Northwest Bands and Labels trading cards that came out in the early 1990s and were only really sold in the Seattle area for a couple years. They were also in the super cool documentary Hype! that documents the rise and fall of the early nineties Seattle music scene, a.k.a. the grunge years.

Some of the cards that can be found among the three additions are northwest legends: Earth, Gas Huffer, Supersuckers, Mudhoney, Tad, The Sonics, Tree People and Jimi Hendrix to just name a few. There are also a bunch a bands that time has forgotten, most of them rightfully so. But if you know a music nerd or are a music nerd buy the whole set of three volumes, because once we are out of these they are never coming back.

This is the third and final addition of the series. So if you have read this far you should really just buy them. I even put the begging of Hype! bellow to further tempt you. It even has some scenes that take place in our home base of Bellingham! WHOOOO local celebrities!!!!
