They were availablee in three different wrappers:

Here are some of the more interesting monster card things in my collection:

Frankenstein stickers:

Wow! I really like the Frankenstein Stickers but all I have is the wrapper. The actual stickers are both elusive and expensive. Kids used them up sticking them on lockers and binders.

Uncut sheet of Shock Theater cards:

Are those the U.K. Shock Theater cards or the American Shock Theatre cards?

[shiverbones]

Those are the american versions of the cards, there are two sets on the sheet but i could never cut it down.

The frankenstein stickers have cost me $6 to $70, with most being around 30. Thats the most i have ever had at one time. Its my favorite monster set but yeah they never come up for sale.

And the 1959 5¢ Funny Monsters Box (repost from another thread)

That box is both gorgeous and wild cool! I take it the cards as well as the box are vintage and not reprints.

[shiverbones]

Yeah they are  original. I got really lucky on the box, it was listed as a buy it now and i happened to see it right when it listed.

That Jack Davis You'll Die Laughing card set was the first monster card set, and IMO the best monster card set. Many great sets came after it but none reached that level of excellence. Many may favor the Mars Attacks set, but that's my opinion I'm stickin' to it.

I agree. In fact, the "You'll Die Laughing" set may be the single greatest card set of any sort!

I third the motion -- for me it was the first monster "toy"!

Frankenstein stickers:

Shiverbones, those stickers are amazing! And I don't remember ever seeing them as a kid. Speaking of being a kid, I recently completed my Rosan purple Terror Monsters set -- yeaaah!!

Here are scans of some of my Baseballs' Greatest Grossouts cards that Leaf issued in 1988 following up on the Awesome All-Stars cards:





And here are scans of the wrappers in which these cards were issued:

Topps released a 132 sticker set of Monster Initial Stickers in 1974. I surmise that almost all were stuck somewhere because nice specimens are really tough to find these days. I have only the wrapper:

Have you added any Frankenstein Stickers to your collection in the past year?

I got really lucky on the box, it was listed as a buy it now and i happened to see it right when it listed.

Do you mind telling us how much you paid for the display box?

The Topps You'll Die Laughing card set was released before Halloween in 1959. Here are scans of a couple of the most Halloweeny cards from the set:
