Does anyone know where these are from?

[chipereno]

A friend of mine who I collected wackys with in the 70's
found a bunch of these in a box his mother gave to him.
I've never seen them before and he does not remember where
they came from either.
Anyone know?
I looked on Rusty's site and in the Gallery and could not find
any info.
They are really small, not diecut and perfed on the edges.



Sorry not sure why the image rotated.....

Hi Chip,

I think these might be inserts from the 70's kids magazine, Dynamite. I don't recall much about them, except that there was a special Wacky Packages issue with pullout cards.

[chipereno]

Thanks for the info!
I figured it had to have been something like that
since you can see the perfs and they had been torn out.

Interesting stuff.  What other titles did he have?

What issue had wacky pack cards?

That's interesting.  I didn't think Dynamite had ever had Wackys.  I collected Dynamite quite regularly for a couple years (probably about '74-'76) and don't recall seeing them in any issue I had, or any of my friends' or brothers' issues for that matter.  I'd love to think they're out there, though.  A nice oddball item to have, for sure.

Jason should have some info...

I've got a full run of Dynamite Magazine (the final issues from the early 90's were so low-printed that they were quite a challenge to find - the magazine lasted until 1992) and I can verify that they produced a number of Wacky-like things, but no real Wacky type of stickers.  They did produce parody cut-outs and such, and they may have even covered Wacky Packages (but I don't know) but they loved parodies.  They did some fun baseball card parodies as well.

Neil,

I really don't think so... Not saying its impossible, but I do not recall encountering these in any of my issues.  Could be that my copy of said Wacky issue has had the inserts removed (I have a full run of Dynamite, but I'm certain that not every issue is complete with all inserts, though most are).

These are perforated, I'm pretty sure this is what you're looking for.....

Here is the "party pack" that included the perforated Neveready...




Looks to be a match in terms of size, no border writing, etc.

You're right. The Party Pack is more likely the correct source. I was just taking a guess based on my recollection of the magazine. I remember seeing at least one wacky article but I may be confusing the pullout cards for another insert.

I know Dynamite Magazine had Topps Baseball card insert sheets around 1976 or 1977. I think there were 6 perforated cards per sheet. Perforated cards from Topps in Dynamite... I give you a 90% retention score on that. Pretty good.      I operate at about 25% most of the time.

I recall the baseball cards as well.  However, I'm pretty sure they weren't perforated; simply a six card "sheet" cut from the larger 132 card sheet.  I suppose I haven't verified it, but I've assumed that the cards were different, which would make sense if they were indeed cut from a larger 132 card sheet.  I have a bunch of issues of Dynamite, but I don't think any still have the cards in them.  Jason, do any of yours?

Krukcards is selling a billion of these 6 card baseball dynamite sheets.  There were no wacky packages in Dynamite, only wacky package like stickers.

I do have several issues with the baseball cards.  I can't recall if the card selection was different, or if every issue got the same exact six cards...

It's interesting that Dynamite Magazine felt free to use the term "Wacky Package".         Asparagus & Ammonia Surprise...yummy!
