Monsterama digs ye olde Monster Trading Cards.
Monster Wax pegs the 'golden age' of these as a ten year period beginning in 1959, starting with the highly prized

Jack Davis, these
slabs of cardboard are the creme de la creep for collectors, who refer to the series by the tag line on the cards-- "You'll Die Laughing". Click for a taste...
