Well, it says 'trading cards' in the description for this section so did you ever collect any sort of cards?
I've still got some of those little albums that you put PG Tips tea cards in but for proper trading cards (those that came in wax paper packets and had a small rock hard strip of bubble gum in them) my favourites were a set called 'You'll Die Laughing' from 1973. Each one had a b&w pic from an old monster movie along with a 'funny' caption underneath (for instance - the Wolfman would, invariably, have a joke about shaving
). On the back was another monster-related laugh.
A bit later I (well, the whole school, it seemed) got into the first Star Wars cards (red, yellow and blue (with stars) ) and my mate 'wallpapered' his bedroom in Superman the Movie cards but YDL are still my faves.
