The Ackermonster's Classicards - Set #1
Dynacomm / Forrest J. Ackerman - 1991

Notes:  The Ackermonster released these cards in five 45-card sets, with skip-
numbering within each set but forming a continuous (mostly chronological)
series 1-225.  This series has brick-red borders and mostly features artwork
from Warren publications, but is sometimes confused with Forry's Cardiac-
Cards sets.  Many thanks to Charles Roth for the original extreme checklist!
