I actually remember these and had a few, but I never saw them all. Collecting such stuff as a little kid was well-nigh impossible in those days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!
From the first time that I saw some of these, as a child, I wanted them. Meanwhile, Mr Door Tree actually owns some of the original art! How I envy him!
ReplyDeleteMythical Monkey, I know that feeling, having driven my son from store to store looking for GARBAGE PAIL KIDS cards.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thinks the Joker looks like Liberace? He would have made an excellent Joker, too.
