Set Comments

Monster Laffs (Midgee) cards use many of the same images as the standard size Monster Laffs set, though they're approximately 1/3 the size. (It is also a much larger set than it's standard card size cousin and weighs in at 153 cards.)

Monster Laffs (Midgee) cards originally sold in 3 card attached panels. Naturally most cards are found today in detached condition. A close look at any "single" card will show at least 1 perforated edge where the card has been separated from it's panel mates.

Stories of collectors attempting to piece together complete Monster Laffs (Midgee) panel sets for over 10 years are not uncommon owing to a severe scarcity of high number panels. Consequently, many collections are thus comprised of single cards with perhaps a few panels thrown in for variety. Complete Monster Laffs (Midgee) panel sets (when found) sell with a substantial "set premium" owing to the rarity of the set in this form.
