I have seen Wormy and Beanball but do not have a picI can share. Beanball is the Weakies pose. Wormy has different worms. Not sure which title(s) the worms are from yet. I will know once I receive my Wormy Super Rare 5/5 in a few days and do some research.  Just learned the Milk Foam Super Rare is the Milk Foam Dog in the Grave Train pose.

Could it be from Scare Deal?

That's exactly what they are from. Thanks for that. Still waiting on mine. I will post a pic when it arrives. Nice Wacky Investigative work!

You certainly know your Wacky worms.

I received my Super Rare 5/5 Wormy Packages Logo Patch Relic Card today. I am very happy to own this card. When they did not surface on Ebay I figured the higher resale prices on these were driving non-ebay deals and I inquired around. I was able to locate this card and make an offer so now own the 3 Versions.
The Mixed Up Character Concept has been executed really well with these cards.

Here are the only pics I have that show all 18 Logo Patch Relic Cards. Topps did a really nice job of putting characters in poses from other titles and mixing up the characters. Sorry the images are not great but at least all the cards can be seen by everyone here now.

DR. Deal - Could you possibly scan each one!?!?!?!!!

It may be the only chance for some of us to see the really cool cards - fronts and backs! As the backs seems to be consistent with the fixed image and the fronts are different.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like Andrew found the best images of those cards he could and printed them out to have a record.  I'll give him an A for effort even if the final result isn't perfect.

At least the end result is enough to see what Topps was going for in designing the cards.  It's cool to see that BeanBall and Weakies mirror each other in terms of the art!

Just saw the 1/5 Cracked Jerk Super rare Logo Relic sell for about $280 on the bay. Pretty good deal. I think it was listed in a way that many people missed it.

Now that I have owned this card for a few weeks it has grown on me to the point where it is one of my favorite Wackies. Putting the Scare Deal Worms on the Wormy Packages Card improves that title 1000% in my opinion. I am very happy to have been able to acquire this card.  Now I am watching Ebay to see when another of the 5 cards surfaces. No one on this board has mentioned they own of the other 4 cards.

I purchased a Red Ludlow from this series and received it yesterday. Very cool to have four different color Ludlow Backs in the same series. It would be sweet to
have the same title in all four color ludlow backs but I did not go there.

Still a work in progress though. Have wacky back, black ludlow and blue ludlow backs of BUNIONS but still looking for red and green backs. I missed the Topps blank back that sold about 2 weeks ago  :sad:

I originally started on a run of another Smokin' Joe title, DUBBLE BOBBLE, but switched gears when I happened to get more than a few BUNIONS from packs from Walmart. If anyone needs a jump start on a run let me know.  (gold, silver borders; wacky back, green ludlow, pencil and artist autogragh cards all of DUBBLE BOBBLE).

Nifty!

I don't know why, but Topps used my first rough sketch--submitted when I first pitched the idea--for the pencil card, rather than using the tighter pencil drawing that I did later.

Fred, I know the same thing happened on Meme and on Explo, Topps used my original rough!

yeah, it really stood out for me that the eyes were different when I put all cards side by side.  I then realized the B&W must be a rough version, it's so noticeably different. Having cards like this is really cool.
I think many though, are a photoshop gimmick to make 'penciled' versions of the final art, but for quite a few they are clearly the rough versions. Making them truly unique cards.
I think that's a first right? the pencils in the last two series were all just b&w versions of the cards and there were no roughs?

I spotted one card where the rough is actually a different name/title than the final - Cuttereye vs Cutterbye. Less violent, perhaps?

The BUNION pencil is slightly different as well. Most noticeably, the eye of the center bunion looking in a different direction.

can't 'see' your foil card, but I'll put in my 'pair' of  foil wrappers...

and we both get the Retail box top, which is pretty cool.

Patrick, you are the Sherlock Holmes of Wackys!  Yes CutterEye/Cutterbye was my gag and Brent Engstrom (who did the awesome painting) told me after he submitted his pencil, Topps changed it to 'bye.'  Of course that matches the original product better (FlutterBye) and since we aren't actually seeing an eye get cut is more accurate to the illustration.  Here's my original rough:

Patrick, yes, you are correct, this series "Pencils" are a first!  As you know, there are three steps to doing a Wacky, a rough, then a cleaned up, tight pencil (which needs to be approved by Topps) and then a painting.  The cases in which the roughs vary most from the pencils is when the artist who did the rough isn't doing the final illustration.  So in the last two sets the pencils were all the actual tightened up drawings sent to Topps for approval.  This time around it seems to be a mixed bag with some being roughs, some being pencils and some seem to be just B&W images of the final illustration.  As Fred said, not sure why it was done that way.

As you can see my Explo rough is really rough!  I started to use digital images to try to speed up the process of submitting gags to Topps.  If they liked something and had notes then I'd take the time to start cleaning it up.  With Explo there are a ton of refinements between the rough and final painting.

Nice jobs, Patrick and Scot!  I thought of doing that with Quits, but simply haven't picked up any of the harder versions and didn't want to buy them all on ebay.

However, I think one thing is missing from both of your collections.  Do you have an unopened "see through/clear" pack with your respective stickers on top?  I do have one with Hello Kidney if you need it, Patrick.
