Set Comments
As with The Munsters card set, The Addams Family set remains one of the most popular sets from the 1960's. Demand is always
high for The Addams Family cards, but fortunately nice condition cards are relatively easy to locate.

There are no reported short prints for this set though certain cards tend to be "demand scarce" (such as the better portrait cards).

A curious element in The Addams Family set centers around the use of "fake faces" for some of the supporting bit players. As seen
below, the image of the two men has been artistically altered to mask the actor's true identities. Card hobby rumor has it that this was
done in order to minimize licensing costs for the manufacturer (Donruss), though no definitive answer has surfaced. The
1973 You'll Die Laughing set also utilizes "fake faces."
