I love those Mars Attacks cards!  I can't believe I don't have any of those after all these years.

I had known about them for about 15 years before I even got one of them and then i set on that one for years. Each year i try to ad at least a few to the set.

Thanks Monolith and Hepcat for posting those Funny Valentine cards! Those were primordial for me. My older brother bought some of the first set (yea, 1959 sounds right) and the memory of those haunted me for decades. I swear every time I would walk by a candy or snack isle in a quick mart or whatever, I would catch myself glancing in the fleeting hope of spying those. Weird how something can snag your imagination like that. The bright colors caught the eye and the edgy irony caught the brain.

Those cards were a Donruss issue from the seventies, were they not?

Yes Donruss Silly Cycles from the early 70s, a companion set to Odd Rods. I have the majority of the sets except for Fiends and Machines, the final set I believe which you could switch the monsters from car to car. I'll keep posting them, the empty spots are numbers I need LOL Oh yeah these are all decals much to the chagrin of my Mom back in the day!

Cool concept! These Donruss sets came out about ten years after my time so I'm not as familiar with them as I am some earlier sets.

The rest of my silly cycles, odd rods later

Cool! The Mummy Machine!

A box of unopened Funny Valentines just sold on Ebay for like $350. I was salivating over that but just couldn't justify bidding on it. Plus it would have been torture to refrain from opening the wax packs!

[Hepcat]

I've been tempted by an empty display box for the Funny Valentine cards but I passed on it because I didn't want to open yet another collecting front.

I have a whopping total of only nine. Here they are:





I have these four booklets issued in the late eighties by Pocket Comics as well:





One booklet for each of the first 54 cards in the set was planned, but the endeavour was sadly curtailed after the first four booklets.

Nice Mars Attacks cards! I remember those booklets, I think I have one of them packed away somewhere.

Is the art inside the booklets cool?
