The whole record store promo items, that sounds like a new thread that should happen unless one has already been started. All I have, that was given to me, is the front cover posters for the LA album. It's 6 different posters of each postcard on the front cover- LA, Beach Boys sign, Lady Lynda, Here Comes the Night, Sumahama, and Full Sail.

Anyone have those? I know LA was promoted like no other album, promo records, tshirts, frisbees, and so on...so they might not be worth much, but to quote Boba Fett: "it's (he's) worth a lot to me."

Yeah, there's a poster per each postcard...but just the front cover postcards.

Hmm, that's interesting. Never seen/heard of anyone having these. Are these definitely items issued by Caribou? ( not an aftermarket supplier) 
Can you show them?

At the risk of being a detail-tragic nerd, is the concert gear sample from the Al shirt in the first picture? Al didn't wear many bright shirts last year so maybe old stock.

(I'm ashamed I even noticed or care to ask!  Thud)




The back of the cards says the fabric swatches are "concert-worn" material - one would assume that on an Al card it would be from one of his shirts, but they dont actually say that.

Might be from a loud sock or colorful underwear for all I know!!  LOL

Didn't see the shows last year, but I think the swatch bears a resmblance to parts of the shirt shown on this card:

At the little teeny weeny show I saw Al do in Gilroy, CA in 2005, he was wearing that exact shirt! I looked back at all the pics I took of that show, and he was wearing the same shirt and t-shirt, etc. I wonder who took that photo, and if it was from the same day. I know, random.  LOL

Gilroy Dave was there.  He probably took the picture.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Here is a picture of 4 of the autographed cards.  I'm still trying to find one of the David Marks signed cards.

"Love Mike Love". Really?  LOL

Brian's sig looks like a Brian sig all right, plus I really like that picture of him with the LP there.

Neat!  Did you have to buy any of these separately on Ebay? or you got them all from hobby sets?
Since the cards seem to be the same whether you get hobby or retail, what's the benefit of retail I wonder? other than a slight $$ markup...

I wonder what the licensing fee to the BBs was for these cards; Have to be something substantial, I would think, for each of them to take the time to sign 70 cards, much less providing all the photos and clothes for swatches.  Could all of the pics have been licensed thru Capitol?

Looking at all the pics I took, I realize it was probably a different date. My awkward picture with Al taken before the show is in early evening, and he didn't have the shirt on yet. And that's the end of needless sleuthing.  LOL

Maybe you took those at Al's Family & Friends Great America concert.  Before he changed into his white suit.  Grin

Every time I see that Mike Love tank top card I reconsider having a hobby box on my Christmas list. Bring me the box Santa but for the sake of all things decent let me not have that card in that box!

Haha, I saw that. That's nuts. Wish I had the money to throw around to have two boxes to own, it'd be Christmas everyday if I could do that. Were those the hobby cards? The box looked a little different from the retail.

Got a few additional packs last night, got an artist proof card, a sounds of summer 45 Heroes and Villains card, an Al Jardine In Their Own Words with surfer foil, and a big white SLUG!

I just got a box of the hobby cards. I have the entire 120 cards, 2 concert gears (Mike and Dave), and several of the foil cards, Sounds Of Summer cards, Honors cards, 4 On The Record cards (All Summer Long, Sunflower, a gold Live At Knebworth, In Concert), only 1 Artist Proof card. No autographs or picks. Coolest cards ever from a rock band! When I was a kid I used to collect the Kiss cards from 1978. I had thousands of them. Collecting these Beach Boys cards have brought back exciting memories of collecting cards from my childhood...except this time the quality is superior.

I know that playing another group's latest hit was of the time and quite a dated idea nowadays, but I think it would have been so cool to hear this with Brian on falsetto while Mike would have killed those bass lines 'why don't you come out...'

(We do of course get a glimpse of Brian singing Four Seasons on Surfers Rule.)

Even on the road, Brian discovered ways to bring fresh harmony to The Beach Boys' sound.  A prime example came in 1962 when Brian decided to add Sherry (by The Four Seasons) to the setlist...

I'm a shy guy, so my gf asked the Collector's Connection guy if he had any Beach Boys cards and he said he could order a box and probably sell the packs at $4.50 a piece. He seemed impressed that you could actually open a pack and potentially get a piece of their shirts or an autograph. He said they may be in within a week if he decides to go through with it. He'll email us. Not too shabby  3D

So I might have a card dealer here pretty soon lol.

Thats around a 40% inflated price per pack. A retail pack goes for $2.99. Better to buy a hobby box of 24 packs online for around $80.
