I don't think I've ever seen what the sticker looks like on the front of that box. Do you have a pic?

yep

With that artwork in the background, it looks like the box is in Wacky Package heaven    :25:

I still need the ANS 8 Gravity Feed with the artwork all around the box. Have the rest.

Could trade an empty ANS 3 tall Gravity Feed for it or a Flashback 2 Gravity Feed (maroon sides) for it.

If anyone wants to do a trade with me just shoot me a PM.  :great:

Completed the ANS8 box and pack set this week. Not too bad, 9 boxes, 2 blisters and 7 packs.

I really like the way the black brings out the blue. I'm thinking an all black boarder for a sub-set?

yeah, that does look nice. Although the packs showed up fairly true to color, for some reason the boxes came out pale blue, almost turquoise. I tried some basic color corrections on that photo, but it just made things worse.

Those different boxes look sharp lined up like that, and I like that there are packs in them.

I had just finally convinced myself that I am not intererested in collecting boxes, but now I'm unsure.

Love 'em with the packs still in 'em. Nice to know you could always go over and grab some Wackys to open at a moment's notice.

Thanks everyone  :D

Oh that is a photoshop of those two "extra fancy" Olds2 sketches Jay did.
I just realized that next to that, my framed double Wackys contains Blue Beanie, which is a character in Jay's sketch. :)

I've been searching for a NM/M Windhex for literally 5 years now. Thanks to Jeffcaff, I was able to make a deal for this beauty. Really nice, and a glossy 4th, so very white. I love upgrading!!!

Excellent!  Now you'll just have to try and keep the pack searchers away from your gravity feeds.

Hey Dave, that is a beauty.  I am sure you have looked it over.  Corners look really nice, and well centered.  Why is it only an 8?

That upper right corner is borderline PSA8 so I am sure that prevented it from getting 9 or 10.

The corners are much nicer than most PSA 8 wackys I've gotten, though I guess it may be sufficient to keep it from a 9. But it also may be the centering, which is a bit off left to right. It's not so obvious for thin wackys because the amount of border is not so easily discerned as it would be with, say, a cereal wacky.

I too noticed the slight off-centering, but wouldn't it then get an "OC" qualifier?

Good point, I would say the centering is more likely the issue.

I'm not 100% sure how it works. I know that you can request no qualifiers if you wish, and they will give the card a grade taking everything into account. What I'm not sure of is if the card would be given a 9 (OC) by default if it were a 9 but for the centering. Clearly an unqualified 8 is more desirable than a 9 (OC), but I'm not sure how they know which way to do it.

Great minds think alike, nice display! I have a similiar display in my hall. Been wanting to post a pic. but it is hard to capture a good shot cuz it's the stairway hall, and it's like surrounded by Wacky Stuff on each of the 3 walls as you go down the stairs.

Agreed!

I'm still waiting for one of you to build a swimming pool that's actually a giant Wacky. With black border, properly shaped and with the image in little tiles so you can see it from Google Maps.
