Country music trading card FAQ

Our most popular item is a five-card concert pack. Limited edition or rare cards are randomly inserted across the packs, and we can also include artist-team-approved experiential chase cards, signed cards or autographed-item redemptions. A rare card or redemption is not guaranteed in every pack.

Yes. We work with artists and their teams to create chase cards that can reveal a meet-and-greet opportunity or a redemption for an autographed item. These cards can be randomly inserted into concert packs, with each experience and redemption coordinated with the artist’s team.

The artist and whoever controls their name, image and likeness, usually management, the label or a licensee. We plan approvals into the schedule from the start so the release date holds.

Yes. Every release is built with the applicable rights holders and licensees. If you are the artist or their team, we work directly with you. If you are a brand, venue or promoter, we will help you plan the approvals.

Only with the appropriate approvals. Album art, band logos and other marks are often controlled by the label or a licensee, so we confirm what is cleared before design begins.

A chase card is a special, limited tier within a release, often with a different finish or border, that fans hunt for. Individual numbering, like 07/50 or 1/1, shows exactly how many exist.

A slab is a rigid protective case that seals and displays a card. CMTC presents cards in our own proprietary slabs, giving your release a distinctive, display-ready finish that is unique to CMTC.

Edition size follows the audience and the moment. We look at how the cards will be sold or given away, the size of the fan base and how scarce you want the top tier to feel, then recommend a structure.

Yes. We produce blind packs and fully custom trading card sets for country music artists, labels and tours, including pack-outs with inserts and numbered chase cards.

Yes. You approve the final card fronts, backs, numbering and presentation before anything goes into production.

No. We can design from your photography and brand assets, or develop the card art with you. For artist cards we work from approved, authentic photography.
