Creeps was bizarrely the lowest selling Wacky in all of February, which is just shocking.
Yes, but why? There must be a reason.
Could one possible explanation be that people are, indeed, responding to - and even embracing - the "Trump" political sets? And the "oddball" nonpolitical "Creeps" (233 sold) just didn't fit in? But that doesn't explain why "My Way" (246 sold) brought in only 13 more sales. After all, "My Way" was political. And then we have "Bootman" (285 sold) which wasn't political, yet sold well anyway. "Peeps" and "Milky Way" are not exactly headliner news. "Batman" and "Legos," though, were very current at the time.
Thus, I'm wondering (yet struggling against admitting it) if we, here on the forum, are in the minority? Could it be that classic Wackys, as we know and love them, are a thing of the past? Have they once again run their course? Is society now mainly embracing whatever the television/internet flashes at them on any particular minute of any given day and everything else is, well, passe? It wouldn't surprise me. And, if this is indeed the case, I've a feeling we're probably going to see a lot more of the same from Topps. Keep it current! Keep it current! Keep it current! Unfortunately, and in the long run, though, I've a feeling what this means to us older farts is that we're screwed.
