Yes, it is somewhat disappointing to me too.. But at some points in time I have to stand my ground and fight for what I feel is right. This is one of those times, although, it seems like no one else is on my side to help me out. Looks like I'll be riding alone.. again. 

No, I am on your side, these people are employees and should do what they are paid to do, play a damn game. Their opinions should only count off the field. Game Day should be just that, not protest time!

This isn't a part of that "Interesting auction" but I thought I'd mention this:

eBay auction: #302457595704

Did anyone snatch this up? I bid up to $610 personally, and apparently my father bid up to $700. My first and probably last chance of getting a Cracked under the radar.. 

I'd hate to see this thread disappear, so I will continue posting parody and real product comparisons.
Here is the next in checklist order from the vintage 6th Series...Snarlamint and Parliament.
I love horror Wackies! Love how they made the V shape into a bat. Don't understand why the parody isn't Snarlament with the e.

I always kind of liked this one as a kid.  Fiends and monsters, and a good representation of the actual product. 

"Wicked Packages" possibility...

(Or maybe an "ANS" possibility?  One just never knows with Topps these days.)

"Thrillsbury Buttfetti" Frosting  (Parody of "Pillsbury Funfetti" Frosting.)

Tub features the Pillsbury Doughboy facing left.  He face is contorted in a strained grimace as an explosion of rainbow colored sprinkles sprays from his outstretched rear end.

"Fartificially Flavored"

"Your Next Birthday Party Will Be A Blast!"

Joe and Andrew, so I'm only one gag ahead at this point but anything's on the table.  The next one is neither clown nor cereal, it's sci-fi and very fun.  It's also a bit out of the ordinary and traditional at the same time.  It will premiere a week from Sunday and I hope to have the cards printed and ready to ship immediately.
