Description: Measures 2-5/16" X 3-1/2", Monster Laffs Series, card #66, "NO MORE PIGGYBACK RIDES", from an unknown American International release, published by Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. (IL). All right -- this one has me stumped. The IMDB site has been a great help with the rest of the Topps "Monster Laffs" series of cards, insofar as matching up film photos -- but I have been wholly unable to match THIS one up against ANY film. The only hints are: (1) it's from an American International Pictures film (it says so on the back, and apparently ALL the 1963 Topps "Monster Laffs" cards are lifted from American International films); (2) AIP didn't begin in the film industry until 1955, and this Topps series was released in 1963; so the range of years is very narrow; (3) the film MUST have been ONLY horror or science fiction, which narrows down the AIP genres considerably; (4) the costume worn by the rear actor seems to include a peaked cowl, possibly indicating a film set in the Middle Ages. So I'm guessing that this scene was from one of the early Poe adaptations filmed by AIP. Anybody have any better ideas? Wear & chipping to edges & corners, plus scratches, indentations, rub-wear & soiling -- very slight downward warp -- NO CREASES but 1-3/8" faint indentation from the upper arm of the rear individual, to near the pocket (or lighter area on the lower left side) of the front individual -- overall condition Very Good Minus
