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.

LOL! Now that would be dedication!

Thanks Jeff...thanks alot, that reminds me of just how disorganized I am. But that looks sweet! How can anybody who has ever liked Wacky Packages walk by that everday and not stop, if even for a second and smile. GOOD JOB!  I'm afraid you will have to take more pictures when the new stuff comes in!

Thanks, and I will update. It took some time to do, but it was totally worth it. Those vending set stickers look cool on the black background frames. Sometimes I will just sit on the step and check it all out. Tons of neat stuff to observe.

The whole thing is truly super and I completely agree about the vending stickers, those look particularly eye-catching framed that that.  Fantastic job Jeff!!

Yeah, awesome display!! I am now going to frame my vendings on black like you did. Is it just black construction paper? Looks very deep black.
Also like the 3x3 framed stuff. Heck it all looks fantastic. Thanks for posting!

Do it, you love it. It was so long ago I don't remember - I just looked at them and I think it was some black thin material I had that I used for the backing. With the vending stickers being foil type - it really makes them "pop". The sketches kept piling up series after series so I got some of those ultra pro thick holder/displays. They fit nicely side by side in that spot. I also liked the way the sketches look with the thick black frame that is part of the frame. What is also good to know is that when you tighten these down all the way, there is a nice cavity space that the card sits in and it's not squeezed by the design. One of the few times you want a cavity.

Thanks Ern. It's always great having them displayed and makes a nice conversation starter. Hanging the G.F.s was a bit challenging, until I finally figured I used a U aluminum channel and drilled out the holes that the little plastic hanger piece goes into, then the box hangs on that. Had to mark, measure and drill it out first, then attach it to the wall studs, but it allowed me to line up all the boxes nicely.

We should give out awards for this kind of thing!  If you have an amazing collection or display like this you should get an "Official Wacky Packages Extreme Collector" certificate or something like that.

On Phony Lisa, the guy with the magnifying glass looks like one of the Keno brothers from the Antiques Roadshow on TV. Excellent rendition, really well done.

I recently acquired a 14th tan set with puzzle from Matt Stock.  It's in great condition.  Believe it or not, I have been collecting on and off again since 1995 and never had the tans until now....

I have all 1-16 Original (A)set also All Wacky Ads & All Die Cuts as I have been collecting Wackys,in a  seriously mode for 20 years. I remember being a kid in the 60's having die-cuts, not realizing what they were at the time. They must have been lost or thrown out as the years went on then in 73 with series 1 coming out me & a neighboorhood friend started buying them. We would go to a little candy shop to get them in New York, there was an old Italian man who owned the store. We were keen on getting a set complete, Topps issued the next series & soon after the 3rd but we both didnt comlete 2. I remember asking the man about the last series & his response was " We no asella 2nd aseries WackyApacks ano more" with the heavy accent.
