'Smash Hits' Photo Card

(1985)

Andy Summers was #74 in the 'Smash Hits' card set which came out in 1985. Slightly larger than a standard sized baseball card (approx. 4" x 3" in size), these photo cards were issued in the UK in the early 1980s and printed by the Panini Company in Italy. Each card has a short biography on the reverse and a peel off sticker photo on the front.

Who says you can't be a pop star and a serious artist at the same time?
