I remember having to get the double-barrel shot of penicillin in my rear end and my mother carrying me to the Tinee Giant to get baseball cards. They didn't have any, so I bought these weird things called Wacky Packages. I remember the store charging 6 cents a pack even though the box clearly was marked 5. I think she bought me a dollar's worth - 16 packs plus 4 cents tax. They must've been 1st series tans because I remember going back a couple of weeks later with my own dollar and getting 2nd series white backs that I noticed were of thicker stock. I don't remember a camel, so they weren't ludlows. Unfortunately my 1st series were washed in my pants pocket, and none of them survived. I remember series 2 through 14 but nothing after that. By then, the local 7-11 had them and it seemed like the next series would come out before we could get all of one. I completed a few of the series as a kid, then many years later when I was in college I found an add for them in a baseball card magazine. My parents bought me the die cuts (only regular titles), ads (including Good 'n Empty) and the most of the other series I was missing for Christmas that year. I seem to remember the die cuts, ads, and 1st series going for about $40-50 each, and the others I was missing (including 15th and 16th) selling for about $10-20 each. I picked up the others in the late 90s on eBay, trading in John Mann's forum, and at a couple of Philly shows. Good times and fun to remember.
