warshawlawI love those. Brings back memories of summer camp in 1974-75, when they were all the rage. I've still got two of the die cuts from the 1st issue that I found in a lot of cards I received many years ago. Two of the dog food cards. Always brings out a smile when I see them. I also love the "Run Tony" shells and the "Chuck Wagon" parody card. I understand that PO'd manufacturers caused some real scarcities in the set.
I also forgot from my list, the Batman Bat Laffs set (the one with the show photos). BTW, I watched a rerun of the show the other night and had two observations, neither original: (1) Julie Newmar was HOT, and (2) the shows have the same feel as Johnny Depp's performance in Pirates--slightly off, as though the performers are aware of how silly the whole thing was and are winking at you through their cowls. The scripts are very subtle; there are some really sharp double entendres in there. I also love how all of the crooks' lairs are filmed at an angle (they're crooked, after all).
