1964 DONRUSS THE ADDAMS FAMILY #50
MY TWO FAVORITE ADDAMS FAMILY CHARACTERS ON ONE CARD. UNCLE FRSTER IS THE BEST AND EVERYONE LOVES A NICE WITCH. JUST SQUEESE IN LURCH, THING AND COUSIN ITT IN SOMEWHERE AND YOU'VE GOT THE PERFECT CARD. GOT THIS AT ROGER'S VINTAGE CARD SHOW A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. HE HAD A SMALL PILE OF UNPRICED ADDAMS FAMILY CARDS IN A CASE AND I HAD TO TAKE A LOOK. HE SAID SINCE IT WASN'T A FULL SET HE'D SELL SINGLES FOR FIVE BUCKS EACH AND I NOPED OUT. BUT I COULDN'T GET UNCLE FESTER AND GRANDMA OUT OF MY HEAD AND WAS ABLE TO SNAG THIS ONE ULTIMATELY WAY LESS THAN FIVE. I THINK ROGER TOOK PITY ON ME SINCE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE SHOW LITERALLY THE DAY IT OPENED AND WAS WOEFULLY UNPREPARED AND HAD TO BOTTOM FEED THE BARGAIN BOX. OF COURSE NOW I WANT A CARD OF EVERY CHARACTER. WHY IS THIS HOBBY SO SPENDY
THE BACKS OF THE ENTIRE SET MAKES A GIMONGOUS PUZZLE OF THE ENTIRRE FAMILY. THIS CARD HAS PART OF GOMEZ' PANTS. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT'S RIGHT SIDE UP OR NOT. THIS IS PROBABLY MY OLDEST DONRUSS CARD NOW. HERE'S A CARD GALLERY OF THE SNTIRE SET AND A GOOD PICTURE OF THE WRAPPER. IF ANY OF YOU THINK YOU GOT A COOLER CARD THAN IN IN 2019 BRAG ABOUT IT IN THE COMMENTS SO WE CAN ALL MOCK YOU FOR HOW WRONG YOU ARE. AIN'T NOTHIN' COOLER THAN THE ADDAMS FAMILY

Thirteen years is an awful long time to have been blogging about cards... Happy Anniversary! As for best cards of 2019, I may have topped you, but I'm not gonna spoil anything here, as I'll probably be posting about it sometime in May, and I don't want everyone to know about it before then :)
Five bucks? That's quite a bit for singles from this set, glad to hear that you didn't have to pay that much for this one though.
Good card and pickup. Great selection for 2019!
I didn't know Donruss was making cards back in the 60s. Very cool, indeed!
I'd love to get mocked by you and your readers... but I'm having a huge brain fart when thinking about my coolest 2019 acquisition. If I think of anything, I'll come back and comment.
Refreshing honesty. Much appreciated. You Will never be an editor at Beckett that's for sure!
