Shrimpenstein Fan Club – Shrimpenstein was the title character of a short-lived but well-remembered 1967 kids' show on Channel 9 in Los Angeles. Shrimpenstein ran every Monday through Friday at 5:00 in the afternoon. The show was performed with similarities to the Soupy Sales show, a host performing with a puppet and interacting with off camera crew. The show offered a Fan Club package for $1.00 with included a membership card with a secret code on the back, a 45rpm record featuring the theme song, 15 Monster Green Stamps and a mini letter with information for club members. The mini letter features a cartoon image of the Shrimpenstein puppet, which is the same images as seen on the first Monster Green Stamp. The host of the show Dr Rudolph von Schitck, was portrayed by Gene Moss.
Other stamp images include Wilfred the Weiner Wolf, The Hot Rod Monster, Ugly-Buggly, Squid-Kid, Punky, The Tijuana Bats and others. I found the stamp image on the TV horror show nostalgia site, and on an auction site, but have not found a better for display.
