What is "monsterwax"

Monsterwax is a trading card company that specializes in Science Fiction and horror themes. It was established in 1992, making it the oldest American card company still in business exclusively producing non-sports sets. Many trading card companies like Topps are corporate subsidiaries that primarily produce sports related issues. However, Monsterwax is a small privately owned company focusing primarily on non-licensed entertainment cards. They usually release only one to three series a year. Monsterwax generally limits their print runs to less than 500 boxes (a fraction of the industry standard) and numbers each box and checklist.
