Ricky Nelson starred as Colorado Ryan, a young gunslinger who joins John Wayne's Sheriff John T. Chance and Dean Martin's Dude in the fight to defend the jail in Rio Bravo. Released in 1959, the film was one of Nelson's most prominent acting roles.
Importantly for collectors, Ricky Nelson had only one Western film/TV appearance in his short acting career: Rio Bravo (1959). These cards therefore represent Ricky Nelson specifically in his Rio Bravo Western role rather than simply depicting him in generic cowboy imagery.
These are especially interesting for collectors of Ricky Nelson, Rio Bravo, classic Hollywood Westerns, John Wayne memorabilia, vintage Japanese menko, and Japanese pop-culture collectibles.
