Baltimore-based social media company Phantasy Tour officially unveiled its first series of live music trading cards last week. These cards are sure to be a fun collectible item featuring photos of some of the top touring bands from various musical genres. Like you, many of us at DC Music Review love collecting music memorabilia: ticket stubs, t-shirts, posters. Phantasy Cards adds something new to the mix - collector cards. Best yet, these cards are priced at $8 per pack, which is less than the cost of two drinks at a venue (based on the venue, of course).

 In the inaugural set, collectors will find cards featuring STS9, Leftover Salmon, The Disco Biscuits, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Tropidelic, TAUK, Goose, Bumpin Uglies and The Jauntee.  

Because Phantasy Tour is a Baltimore-based organization, lets shine some additional DMV & Charm City love by showing off the cards of Pigeon Playing Ping Pong's very own Jeremy Schon and Greg Ormont.

Each pack of Series One Phantasy Tour Trading Cards contains nine randomly sorted collectible cards (from 50 unique cards in this series) featuring a musician or entire band.  

In addition to the photos, a special card has been included to support and bring awareness to Backline. This tremendous organization connects the music industry professionals and their family members with a trusted network of mental health and wellness providers. We recognize the stress and strain associated with being an artist and the struggles of life at home and on the road.

DC Music Review is exceptionally happy that Phantasy Tour has joined forces with Backline to help artists and raise awareness for this cause.
