1970's
The Beatles Story
Monty Gum
380 cards
Another Beatles collection that includes the album cover artwork for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Liverpool's Albert Stubbins can be seen, to varying degrees, in all four cards, peeping from behind Marlene Dietrich's right shoulder. There's very little information about this set available, the total number of cards is not known but the collection was originally issued in the Netherlands, possibly in sets of 100 cards. The collection was expanded and released in the United Kingdom and the United States. I haven't been able to find a checklist so I've just listed the relevant cards.
UPDATE (13-05-2026 13:11): An anonymous collector has left a comment stating he's just completed this set after decades of searching and he states that there are 380 cards in the set.
149. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
150. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
151. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
152. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
I have about 260 of these cards.
