Here's my Frankenstein Comic Book Foldee made by Topps in 1966. Green Lantern is on the other side. The images were drawn by Wally Wood.

Wow, we had those as kids! I hadn't thought about those in years! Thanks for posting that!

[Monolith]

I had some of them as a kid, too. They were fun. With this one you could fold it to make powerful bathing beauty, or beautiful Frankenstein, etc.
Here's the other side of that card...

Yes! The Topps Funny Valentines cards are one of the most beloved items in my collection. They're not scarce, they're not expensive, but I remember them in the schoolyard and the Jack Davis artwork is just too cool!

The first set was issued in 1959:











Here is a photo of the original art to one of the Funny Valentine cards above:



The Funny Valentines A set was issued in 1960:












The Giant Funny Valentines were issued in 1961 and then reissued in 1966. The 1961 cards have red-orange backs while the 1966 reissue has bright red backs. The 1966 reissue was also printed in both the U.S. and Canada. They're easy to differentiate because the U.S. version was printed on white card stock while the Canadian version was printed on grey card stock. The fine print on the back also tells you in which country the cards were printed.

I love the Jack Davis art on the Topps funny Valentines cards. I have a handfull of 'em and will probably collect more over the years.
my favorites are the ones with monsters on 'em, of course, but they're all great. Nice original art too, Hep. Thanks for posting those!

Here are some old Supermonstruos Cards from South America:

Interesting! I recognize La Bestia and Tigorr as members of DC Comics' Omega Men series from the 80s. Swamp Thing even joins in on the fun!!!

Finally here is some scans of my Mars Attacks Collection. I thought i had like 28 of them but looks like I have 20 so only 25 to go. Looks like I have a great deal of the key cards though. Really wish i had cards 1 and 55. I'm sure Hepcat will love seeing these.

I'm sure Hepcat will love seeing these.

Yes I do! And I can see that a lot of yours are in really nice shape too.

I thought i had like 28 of them but looks like I have 20 so only 25 to go.... Really wish i had cards 1 and 55.

With 55 in the set you still need 35 of them.

Looks like I have a great deal of the key cards though.

Yes you do. "Burning Flesh", "Beauty and the Beast", "Prize Captive" and "Destroying a Dog" are particularly coveted by collectors. The toughest and most expensive cards to find in nice condition though are the first card and the last card which is the checklist.

Oops i meant to say 30. My mind isn't all the way here. I'm sick today and got woke up early. Most of the cards are pretty decent but the scanner can be a little forgiving. The "Prize captive " card is almost mint except it's miss cut. Looks straight out of 1962. Ya cards 1 and 55 i'm sure will be some of the last to find unless I get a deal.

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