I just got hold of some Creature Features/You'll Die Laughing cards, the 1973 issue, from Ebay.  Every so often I'll find a small lot that seems affordable and I'll pick it up.  It takes me right back to the 70's, when a bunch of the kids in the neighborhood had them.  They were so commonplace then, people just left them lying around (!).

A long time ago I asked some people here about the "Baseball Monsters" sticker cards from around 1974.  My question was answered but I forgot what the name of this thing was?  They were stickers, 5 or 6 to a pack, featuring baseball player characters designed more or less like Big Daddy Roth creatures.  It wasn't later than 1975, for sure.  Anyone have these things?

You're talking about the Baseball Super Freaks which Donruss issued in 1973. Here's a picture of them that I lifted off the net:



I don't think I have any of those, but I have a complete set of the Baseball Weird-Ohs that Fleer issued in 1966 which I posted on this page:

I also have a mess of the Leaf Awesome All-Stars from 1988 and Leaf Baseball's Greatest Grossouts from 1989.

Yeah, yeah!  Thank you for the info on these!  That's them, the Baseball Super Freaks.  There are a few of these available on Ebay.  I ordered a couple of 'em and they arrived yesterday...really neat stuff.

Here are more pictures of some of my cards from the fabled Topps "You'll Die Laughing" set from 1959 that featured Jack Davis artwork:

Here is a picture that I lifted off the net of the promo sheet that Topps used to market the original Funny Monsters/You'll Die Laughing cards to retailers in 1959:

Î just got a few ackermonster's classicards. Does anybody collect these cards and know where I can find more ? Or have an interest in them for themselves.

I've got a bunch of these Toho monster cards. They're small and printed on thick card stock. I think they're from the '80's.



They came in paper envelopes that look like this...

I have these as well. they are awesome. small and great quality. good to see another person who got into these. wish there was more info on them. I always assumed they were japanese imports, thats about it.

Those are really cool. Hepcat, do you have any of the Topps Ugly Buttons from around '67?

[Hepcat]

No, sadly I have none of those.

[Monolith]

Those Insults Postcards are great.

I just got twenty five Monster Laffs cards at the flea market for cheap. Here's some of them...

Cheap anything is good, but cheap Monster Laffs cards are great!
