Sean, do you know if these Creature cards are made in the same way as the
earlier fakes, i.e. backs of real cards from same period with newly printed
fronts attached? Or just ones like those that are always on ebay, for
example from seller lobbyloftposters*com, perhaps with a bit of 'restoration'
to make them look old?
As an aside, I saw a few curious CFTBL sets on ebay about 5 years ago,
perhaps to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the 1st release. These seemed
to be made up of repros of some of the original cards, along with
inventively created new cards, the difference being that every card featured
the
creature! I think they were always sold as repros originally, but inevitably
I noticed somebody selling a group of these recently as a 'flea-market
find' (no reply when I contacted the seller, but they sold low anyway).
I kept a copy of a photo if people haven't seen them before:-

there most definitely are reproductions made of Creature From the Black
Lagoon lobbies (at least the title card and best scene card so far)
