I wish I had all the comic books & sports cars my dad had (before his mom tossed them when he was at college).  I was jazzed to get to play with some of the stuff he kept when I was a kid, though... vintage slot-car set, and all sorts of toys that would be labeled as dangerous now I'm sure.  It's the screens, though.  That's why kids don't care about anything they can't swipe with their finger or click with a remote.  The telephone, TV, movie theaters, and board games were no match for Wackys and bikes and camping back then.  They were all just some of many things to do in a day.  Once kids get indoctrinated into screen-culture and have their own iPhone or iPad with Instagram and YouTube... it's all over.  (I work in education, so we see the lasting effects of it first hand)... They're checked out.  Zombified.  Black Mirror.

I listen to a lot of talk radio and I've been hearing more and more about the lasting effects of too much screen time. Sadly, the kids are just mimicking what they see from adults; total addiction to screen time. I was sitting in a waiting area recently when a father and two kids came in. They sat across from me and all three promptly took out their phones. For twenty minutes they were engrossed in their phones and never said a word to each other. I've also noticed the same thing at restaurants. A large group of people sitting at a table all looking at their phones. Sad.

I am VERY interested in being the HIGH BIDDER for the young lady!!!!!

Ha! Well you'll have to contact the artists...knowing Doug's work she's probably sold!

Yah, kind of strange there wasn't a printed list on the back of each plaque with a list of titles.  I'm assuming it's still remained stable at 36 titles and no color background variations (which always surprised me... can't imagine that there weren't a few factory mistakes when assembling them that would have created some mega-rare color variants... which of course would have probably been counterfeited by the same people filling and ironing 'unopened packs' and re-stuck Ludlows back then.)

Seeing them again makes me feel like going after a set.  But I don't have the kind of free time I used to in the late 90's anymore.

I think it would be tough to put together a set of these as I rarely see even singles on eBay. Unless of course someone here who has a full set would want to part with it.

...speaking of which, has anyone ever done a Wacky Packages PODCAST? 

It would have to be better than Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler Present: Dr. Sheldon Cooper's Fun With Flags

In my archives, I have a complete set (I believe I have both the regular and test, but I'd need to check)... 

Anyone have any of the following 1977 Shedds stickers in collectable condition (I'm not a stickler on high-end condition, especially with the Shedds.  Mine are a mix of VG+ to PSA-slabbed.  I remember in 2002 the market got flooded with these from one eBay collector, but I haven't been actively collecting them for a while, so hopefully there's still a lot of those out there in circulation)
