Monster Trading Cards

[horrorhunter]

Creatures Of The Night That We Loved So Well trading card set is a promotional item for the book of the same name (2011, Jim Fetters) about Southern California Horror Hosts. Sixteen different hosts are featured, and there are 43 cards in the set. The numbering is very chaotic and without the index card it would be impossible to tell if you have a complete set, but since these were offered as complete sets that shouldn't be an issue. They are on thin card stock and ding easily. This is still a cool looking set celebrating classic Horror Hosts like Elvira, Moona Lisa, Seymour, and Vampira. The book is really good as well.

Yeah, I meant ladies OF Hammer. Horror Hunter would know for sure. I mean, Hammer girls occupy 90% of his waking thoughts (maybe 30% of it for YUTTE!!!).

I believe Mike is correct that there isn't a set devoted to Hammer Hotties exclusively...but GOD KNOWS THERE SHOULD BE! 

Hell, there should be an entire set devoted to just Yutte, and...her...uh...set.

This is for you, monster bro.


YUTTE, YUTTE, YUTTE!

 Thank you for taking the bait this time. I guess those Hammer sets from a few years ago had a lot of the babes anyway. I should track those down.

Yeah, I have one or two of those I'll be posting in this thread when I get to them. I'm doing it a binder at a time so it might be awhile. I kinda jumped ahead on the binder I put the Heritage Mars Attacks set in because I just got 'em. Lots of trading cards to come. It would be great if someone else besides me and Hepcat would post some cards. Too bad McDougal went AWOL, I think he has Terror Monsters and Terror Tales sets.

If I have any that haven't been done, I'll post them.

This will appeal to '50s sci-fi fans. A 6 card set put out by Good Stuff Cards. There's a 2nd set that I'll post in a few.

Too bad McDougal went AWOL, I think he has Terror Monsters and Terror Tales sets.

Would these be the Terror Tales cards issued by Topps in 1967? If so I don't understand why you think we need McDougals House of Horrors to get some Terror Tales cards in this thread. Has he been saying that he's cornered the market?



While I ponder the question, here are some scans of my 1967 Topps Terror Tales cards:







I love the contrast between the fronts with their sickly greenish tinge and the bright pink backs. It's a very tough set to complete though.

Anybody here have their own trading card?    Several years ago, Good Stuff made a card for my Yahoo Group, as a souvenir for members, or as hand-outs.

Eclipse KING KONG 110 card set from 1993. Great set with the story on the backs.

I just remembered him typing something about getting the cards he needed for Terror Monsters and Terror Tales. That's two sets I don't have and I didn't remember if you had them. Glad to see the Terror Tales cards. Do you have the Terror Monsters as well?

I bought all of the Good Stuff Cards back in the day. I think my next binder in the posting parade has the Karloff and Frye sets. Good Stuff is aptly named. They made some fun monster cards.

They did! And they had that great online card museum, too.

Now you're talking! Can't wait to see those.

[Hepcat]

Do you have the Terror Monsters as well?

No, I don't have any of those. I don't really like them.
