Jan 25 12 10:01 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was hoping someone here could help identify what pics are on the fronts of the following cards: #87 Coffee, Tea Or Milk? From Werewolf of London #90 They Call It The Cleopatra Cut. Headshot of Frankenstein's Monster #103 Who Pulled The Plug? Unknown #110 Teacher, May I Be Excused? A&C meet Frankenstein #111 Step Aside Boy, I'll Handle This One. Unknown #112 Of Course I'll Volunteer! Unknown #131 Mother Please, I'd Rather Do It Myself! Unknown A member at UMA was kind enough to help me I.D. a few above, I was hoping someone here could either post a pic, or a real good description of what the picture on the front of the card. ebay has been a big help, I've also been to Monsterwax and Horrorcards.org as well. If another set like YDL or Creature Features has an identical card, that's help as well. Thanks a lot! ~T.

Jan 26 12 1:49 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I could only find a way too small image of #103 and I think it is from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 1962. But I`d really know if I could see a larger image. And I couldn`t find an image of #111.

Jan 26 12 10:21 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks a bunch for posting those, Sir...I don't know what the images for the missing cards are...only their number and the caption beneath the pic, thanks to horrorcards.org. I was hoping someone here might have had the set. It was the member from UMA who told me who was pictured on 87, 90 & 110. He had the two above, but didn't know what the films were, and wasn't able to scan them. I didn't want to be a pain in the ass and have him describe the pics. I'm gonna guess 87 would be Glendon as the werewolf, at the lab table. #90 is tougher, as I'm uncertain if it's Karloff, Chaney, Lugosi or Strange. Maybe 110 is the promo shot of Strange holding A&C by their collars. Basically, I'm amassing a collection of specific cards, (the major monsters), and if I have an identical shot from another card set, then I won't have to pursue these. Spook Stories, Creature Features '73 & '80 and the Universal Monsters of the Silver Screen sets all share common images. The Horror Monster sets from Rosan have images that have yet to be repeated. Thanks again, ~T. Last Edited By: whoopiecat Jan 26 12 10:37 AM. Edited 1 times.

Strange...a bunch of the numbers are off, (111/127/136 & 144), unless there was an O-Pee-Chee issue of these cards and they're numbered differently, as I'm thinking this person is a Canadian seller, judging by the shipping costs. According to horrorcards.org, we have from left to right: #48: I'm So Mad I Could Slap Your Wrists! #115: It's Not Your Looks Harold, It's Your Personality. #140: ...And I Make 56 Varieties! #23: Don't Get Excited, It's Only Your Mummy! #39: Don't Laugh-Yul Bryner Started Out This Way. #148: Look Sharp, Feel Sharp, Be Sharp! (this caption was a repeat from card# 72.) #123: How Do You Change The Bulb In This Thing? Bottom row, L to R: #31: Now That's What I Call A Real "Rock Head"! #7: Whadda Ya Mean "Pruneface"? #131: You Said If I Had Talent, Looks Don't Count! Thank you, though! I've looked at that listing a few times, as I want 131 & 148 ~T. Last Edited By: whoopiecat Jan 26 12 4:44 PM. Edited 1 times.

Jan 26 12 8:45 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	110 is Lugosi as DRACULA from A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN not of the monster. 90 is a publicity shot of Karloff from FRANKENSTEIN 1931. 87 is Henry Hull from WEREWOLF OF LONDON. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Jan 26 12 11:33 PM. Edited 2 times.

Jan 26 12 11:00 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hmm, this is #111, not "STEP ASIDE, BOY, I`LL HANDLE THIS ONE." Publicity still for THE MOLE PEOPLE. I think you have 111 & 115 switched tho I haven`t found an image of 115 yet. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Jan 26 12 11:46 PM. Edited 3 times.

Jan 26 12 11:49 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	While doing the research on these, I saw images of the stickers that came with the cards. Talk about a trip down memory lane. I collected these back in 1961 when I was 8 years old! Wish I still had them.

Jan 27 12 2:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Trivial correction: #131 is indeed SHADOW OF THE CAT but the actor is Freda (BRIDES OF DRACULA, VALLEY OF GWANGI) Jackson.

Jan 28 12 1:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	115 is "I`M HERE FOR MY DENTAL APPOINTMENT, MISS JONES" so I was wrong. Image is from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I still haven`t seen 'STEP ASIDE BOY, ..."

Jan 29 12 1:05 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The best image I could find of #103 is in the bottom row 5th card from left, second card from right. It is from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 1962 for sure. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Jan 29 12 1:07 PM. Edited 1 times.

Jan 30 12 10:20 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This is #115 not the A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN card with the joke STEP ASIDE BOY. Now all we have to do is find out what card number STEP ASIDE BOY is. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Jan 30 12 10:30 PM. Edited 3 times.
