...great link for those old card sets. I have entire sets of both Garbagepail Kids and the Beetlejuice set (including all of the stickers). Some additional ones I own include a set of Bozo the Clown cards, Ringlords, featuring boxing champions, US Olympic Cards HOF, the Playboy Commemorative card set, Muscle Cars, (one of my favorites) Wrestling Legends, Larry Lawson's World's Greatest Whitetails, Hot Schlock featuring horror movie poster art, 1993 Marvel Masterpieces and dozens of promotional cards that I picked yo over the years. And a couple more, Dinosaur Attacks with stickers patterned after the Mars Attacks cards of decades ago, and a complete set of cards featuring all of the comic book creations by Valiant comics.

...it is too bad that the "vultures" permeating a child's hobby took it to extremes and made it a miasma of greed. The card manufactures are also to blame for their sales practices and advertisements... My card collection is something that started in the 1950's with me purchasing .01 cent packs with a large slab of bubble gum. How I long for those good ol' days....!!!!!!
Is there any human experience (including living in a greener earth) that greedy capitalism hasn't ruin? I consider those who were born between 1950 and 1970 (with a heavy heart I'll add 5 more years that is up to 1975) extremely lucky people ,life had quite a true feel back then.
This fall I discovered the Pre Code Hollywood movies on Youtube (1927 - 1935) and I've been binge watching all this time.Another great authentic era!
In the mean time I can't find a decent song to save my life. Here is a blast from the past www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lww3LftQaw
