Still entices me now. I mean why change a good thing?

 

Another wild looking and great tasting flavour is Blue Moon:

The only time I've ever had it was at Stroh's ice cream parlour in the Renaissance Center in Detroit about 30 years ago.

My favourite wildlife artist is John Seerey-Lester. He's a master at portraying the texture of fur, snow, bark, etc:

It's nigh impossible to find a run of covers as spectacular as those from the first seven issues of Creepy magazine. Here are scans of those from my own collection:

These three classic posters were advertised for several years in the pages of various Warren magazines:

They'd look great hanging on any wall! I love Vampirella's releasing the bat pose.

Now that the Canadian football season is in full swing, I'll post some of my CFL cards. The 1954 Blue Ribbon CFL cards are the rarest of the CFL issues that can properly be called cards. Here are scans of a few of mine:

The cards were included in with large Blue Ribbon chocolate bars retailing for a dime or more back in 1954. As a result, there were relatively few issued and trying to find the cards today in nice condition is extremely difficult. I've been pecking away at trying to complete the eighty card set for more than twenty years.

 

My 1959 Topps CFL cards are among my most prized collectibles since they were the first cards I ever collected as a kid. Here are some scans from my set:

I have a vague memory of getting them in this first wrapper here although some were evidently also distributed in this second wrapper which Topps had used previously for the 1958 NFL cards:

The following year I initially collected only the Winnipeg Blue Bombers but then my best buddy turned over his small stack of 1960 Topps CFL cards to me. My third grade teacher Miss S. soon confiscated the stack when she caught me looking at the cards in class but she gave them back to me a week or so later. Here are scans from my current set:

I really don't know what happened to these or any of the cards I collected early on as a kid but I suspect that my mother threw them out when I lost interest in them and left them lying around the house somewhere. That doesn't happen anymore since my cards are of course now all carefully and neatly catalogued in plastic sheets and binders.
