My mom has struck again (in a good way). She has been cleaning out some book cases and cabinets and found all the grade school era artwork, poems, stories, homework, greeting cards, report cards, etc. that she deemed noteworthy and saved for me and my sister. She is giving this stuff to us, as it is time we had it. I have only just started looking thru it, but have found a whole art pad of superhero drawings I did when I was 7 in 1975. For me, it is an awesome treasure find. I had forgotten about it, but upon seeing it I can remember the hours I spent filling this pad with images of Batman, Shazam, Underdog, Captain America, Thor, etc.
We used to make our own cards for family events such as birthdays, mother/father day, christmas, valentines, etc. Amoungst this stuff is a birthday card I made for my dad in May, 1974. I was 6. I decorated it with Wackies on the front and back. This has been placed between a bunch of papers for 40 years, so the stickers are in perfect (stuck) shape and have not faded. They are on regular light yellow construction paper. There is over print of the pink color on most of the stickers. I was fascinated by the overprint phenonemon when I was a kid and stared at that particular sticker all the time. Since then, I have always looked at the Secrets WP and felt it should have this overprint, otherwise it was missing something. To me, the overprint makes it look "right". I have searched ebay for years trying to find a Secrets with the overprint.
Anyway, I thought I would share these WP stickers that have appeared to me from out of the past. I will add them in my collection to the ones I listed at the top of this post. They are the only WP that I have from my youth. To have these inadvertantly pop up after all these years has been a real mind blower, especially the overprint Secrets.
