Who remembers these?

I've never owned a set, but have seen them for sale any number of times over the years.

I remember seeing a nifty documentary about Robert Crumb back in Kansas City, probably 20 years ago.  Interesting guy (putting it mildly).

Wikipedia seems to indicate he's still among us! - age 75.

I remember R.Crumb's jazz cards and his blues cards but not his country (music) cards, though I've seen a few of the country cards' illustrations in isolation. On Amazon, I just saw each of the three — blues, jazz, and country by R.Crumb — reissued in 2017 and available as sets of cards. That's in addition to the book that features the illustrations from all three.

They are listed as follows on Amazon:

Heroes of the Blues Boxed Trading Card Set by R. Crumb
Early Jazz Greats Boxed Trading Card Set by R. Crumb
Pioneers of Country Music Boxed Trading Card Set by R. Crumb

and the book is listed as

R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz & Country

The book comes "along with an exclusive 21-track CD of music selected and compiled by Crumb himself . . . " and a bio of each musician.
