Tina Turner has four consecutive MusiCards that we'll take a look at today. There's also a card of hers in the UK edition, as well as a "different font in logo" promo card (--notable for being the only one of those featuring a photo that didn't make it into the retail set). The picture on card #97 here looks like it could be a still from a music video, or maybe she was just putting on a little show for the photographer.
There was a fascinating documentary called Tina (2021) that did a great job of telling her story while she was still with us.
Tina Turner - "Proud Mary"
Other than the back of #97 where she's sporting a denim jacket, all these pictures on her MusiCards are from just two photo shoots: "black dress, yellow background" or "sequin dress, white background", card #98 here being among the latter.
Kinda funny that the back picture of card #98 is also...
... the front picture of card #99.
Back to the black dress, yellow background.
According to the Trading Card Database, there are 50+ different Tina Turner cards out there dating back to 1972.
We finally hit triple-digits with this set as we close out 2024. The coming year will see another milestone as we alphabetically finish up the "Pop Artists" section and move into the "R&B/Rap" part of the Series 1 checklist.
