[Monsters For Sale]

Looks like a carded variation on these:








Not familiar with them.

The color is a bit more yellow green, otherwise identical.  Same size.  Feels to be from the same material.  Same density.  I have a loose US version as well.  Found on eBay.  Shipped from Venezuela.

Now I'm even more confused.

Otherwise identical to what? Same size as what? Same material as what? The US version was sold as what, by whom and when?

Hepcat,

I was referring to the Illco brand Monster Balls.  They were released carded in the US sometime in the late 80's/early 90's.  The example I just obtained is a Venezuelan version.  Here is a photo of the US version, MOC...



Here is a photo of the same example (removed from the card) pictured next to the bagged Venezuelan version...

Still a sucker for old monster mags, especially when they have a cover of a monster that I enjoy:



And then there are the ads!  Gotta love 'em!

After your bucket find, I would not be shocked if you come across one.

I hope the find goes to some UMA member who wants it more than me.

I'm not greedy. I'd settle for one mint specimen.

As I continue to build small, but eclectic collection of monster mags, here are a few that I thought fit the bill:

The cover on this one shot was so-so, but there is a small gallery of pages like the one shown that just made this one from 1966 pop.Add in a feature story on Them and I could not say, "No."



Cover winner here and I enjoyed the reading so far as well.

MotM was one of the best '70s mags, along with The Monster Times, House of Hammer and Movie Monsters.

MotM had some of the best cover art and #2 is my favorite!

Really like how it has interviews, comics, etc all wrapped into one.  Love Monster Times as well.  When I was a kid I had an issue or two and wore it out pretending it as my newspaper that got delivered each day.

Great magazines. I definitely agree.
