There’s a special bond between country music stars and their biggest fans that perhaps runs a little deeper than most. Country music devotees crave their favorite artists. They cheer the harmonies, hard-charging lyrics and twangy deliveries every time they blare from the radio or a pair of ear buds. Appearances on awards shows or the late-night talk-show circuit are must-watch material. Country music devotees ensure sold-out concerts, download new music the day it hits iTunes and know every word of every song by heart.

About the only thing they don’t do is collect their favorite stars’ trading cards, if only because there have traditionally been precious few cards to collect.

  1. With My Baby Brother Going to University Of Tennessee and Mom and Pops Living in Nashville! I’m Very thrilled that I could certainly Share this Product with them…
    Nice way to diversify!

  2. I’d like to see some more of this checklist, specifically more of the older country singers like Willie Nelson or Dolly Parton. That would definitely put this set on the map for me, my mother played a lot of older country when I was growing up. Thanks Tracy!

  3. I think adding the majors maybe in a very short print would be awesome. Willie, Garth, George Strait, Blake Shelton, Etc.

  4. Are there going to be any Country Superstars in this? Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, Tim McGraw, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Sugarland…???

  5. Sounds like a great set. I started listening to country music in 2006 and find it to be much more “real” than other kinds of music.. meaning, when you hear them live, they sound the same as they do in videos. Too bad this idea didn’t happen when Brooks and Dunn were still together (my favorite group)

  6. Not at all a country music person as I can’t stand the music, but can’t go wrong with a Hootie auto. Rucker will always be Hootie to me.

    Kinda wished Carrie Underwood was involved too. I mean, come on, she is carrie underwood.

  7. Not impressed. So much potential for an absolutely amazing set and it looks like panini barely tried. MIx that with what looks like someone taking designs from past sports sets and just changing them a little to make them seem original when it really wouldn’t have been that had to truly create original innovative designs for this set and its a poorn attempt at card set greatness. They are really lucky they have Miranda and Florida Georgia Line in this otherwise the other names (despite their recognition in country music) would not have been able to carry this set.
