Again, thanks for the information. I am not sure how you got to be a fan of Wacky Packs. When I was in Elementary School from 1972-1975, somewhere in those years, a bunch of kids had them at school. This is where I got hooked. This was down in Miami, Florida. I lived across from the school and this was behind a strip mall with an Eckerd Drugs, and they sold them there. I didn't have any money but my father would occasionally let me buy one. He was nice enough to pay. After this, my interest totally died away as I went onto college and beyond. However, I never got rid of them. I also got my brother's. I kept them as I moved around. Then ebay came around and I got a copy of the Wacky Packages Gallery. I got hooked again. Here I am.
As I grow older, I have become more curious as to how other people have gotten hooked. Absolutely no one else I have run across in my years who I have met or work with, ever got immersed in them.
Anyway, thanks for letting me share.
