MÖTLEY CRÜE are expanding their legendary brand into the world of collectibles. Global Merchandising Services (GMS) and Japan-based Epoch Company, Ltd. have announced a premium trading card collection celebrating the glam metal icons, launching in December 2026 across North America.
The inaugural set will be available through hobby shops, specialty retailers, and major retail chains. Highlights include authentic hand-signed autograph cards from band members and rare memorabilia inserts featuring concert-used items: guitar picks, drumsticks, and lanyards. GMS will present preview cards at the upcoming Licensing Expo at booth B170.
Lisa Streff, SVP of licensing at GMS, stated: "Our goal is to curate a trading card product that fans will truly enjoy collecting and that the members of MÖTLEY CRÜE themselves will be proud to launch with us." Jamie Kiskis, producer for Epoch's trading card division, added: "MÖTLEY CRÜE has one of the most passionate fan bases in music history, and we believe collectors and fans alike will be excited by the premium quality."
The announcement comes as MÖTLEY CRÜE prepare to celebrate their 45th anniversary with a North American tour running July through September 2026. The Los Angeles band have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, earned seven platinum certifications, and amassed nearly 10 billion streams — making them one of the best-selling rock acts of all time.
The trading cards add yet another chapter to a legacy that continues to grow more than four decades in.
