Trading cards were less precious when I was a kid. We didn't put them in plastic envelopes or non-deteriorating mylar-free polyundulate window to be viewed in a Mead 3-ring binder. We played with them. Some kids would use clothespins to attach them to their bikes to make the wheels sound like a motorcycle. Which works perfectly, by the way.

These cards I'm sharing in this here videolog are of the "You'll Die Laughing," series. The seed of this small collection are the few cards which survived my childhood. I'm not even sure where I got them. Could have been a trade at a sleepover or maybe someone bought them for me when I was too young to remember. The rest (most, honestly) were purchased on eBay. This was around the time I first discovered that you could buy things to grow your childhood collections.

These cards were never particularly funny to me, even as a kid. They were however, fascinating. I'd flip through cards I owned and would always slow down and check these out. Although I would have loved more of them, the only collectable cards I saw at the store were baseball, football and hockey.

So here is the short stack of cards which make up this collection. I hope you enjoy it and i apologize for the shaky holding of the cards.. I'm still pretty crappy at this.

Thanks again,
