This Week in Your Collection

[ratchet007]

All my PSA graded 16th's say 1977.

[BustedFinger]

It just seems odd when the copyright on the sticker says 1976.

[Jean Nutty]

Picked up a couple of jumbo packs of GPK BNS3 at TRU last week to check out a sampling of the current series. I believe the title on the upper left is a spoof on a famous work of art, but not sure what or by who.

It's a parody of an drawing by French illustrator Émile Bayard who created the illustrations for Victor Hugo's book, Les Miserables.  It was used as the key image for the recent Les Miserable musical.

I got this in the mail yesterday. I've been looking for a nice one of these for about a year.

Nice! I've always liked that wacky.

Another addition that arrived in the mail this week............

Another addition that arrived in the mail this week............

For some reason, that puzzle has always been the Chuck Jones, where as the others are Quimbys.

[70s_Kid]

I dont understand what that means..?

[sco(o)t]

I dont understand what that means..?

I believe he is referencing the old TOM AND JERRY cartoons. Some produced by Fred Quimby and later ones, I believe, by Chuck Jones (who also did many Looney Tunes cartoons, THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS, etc) .  When you watch enough of the T&J cartoons, you can pick up on the different look and humor of the Quimby vs. Jones cartoons. I remember as a kid liking both... just different styles.

If a response needs this much info I'm going to move on....

Why respond to a responce if your moving on? I felt like being cryptic. Its just what i see when i see it. Those that know, know. Those that dont that are inquisitive will look it up. The rest just look at you.

You're right and I owe and apology to Scot. It was a bad attempt at humor.

I own Chuck Jones original art myself - he was the MAN!! I did understand the meaning...so a few of us get it!!

[Playbug]

Just received an original 2nd series box, the last one lacking in my collection. The corollary is that I simply wanted one of each color of the original series boxes. I spent the $100 I was going to spend on ANS 11, so I guess I've crossed over to the other side!

Funny, was just telling someone the other day about how they used to be 5 cents a pack back in the day. Cool score.

[FourRoses]

One last ride with ANS 11 today at Target. Opened twelve packs which contained 2 of those coloring cards, five silvers and two golds. Something is telling me to go back tomorrow and buy up the last few packs.

[Paul_Maul]

This is one of the very toughest wackys to find centered and un-toned...this is the Wormy Packages of my dreams!!!

[FourRoses]

I picked up a color key proof set for Dukin' Donuts of ANS6 for less than two Rodeo Cheeseburgers at Burger King. I almost feel bad.

[Catluver]

I just started collecting with picking up my 1st pack ever the other day.

[Soremel]

Awesome! Watch out, though, Wacky Packages can be VERY addictive! (in a good way!) Have fun collecting!

Welcome to the forum Kalina! My name is Rob. We are a friendly bunch here. Where did you purchase your Wacky Packages recently? What series?
 
Here's some other cat-centric titles you might not know about.

   

[Paul_Maul]

Picked up a really nice Plastered Tan Back PSA 8...looks like it could have been a 9! It's not chrome, though.

[Paul_Maul]

Another recent pick up...another incredibly difficult title to find centered and un-toned...and with two asterisks, it ain't no wonder bread junk!!!

[Paul_Maul]

One last toughie...located on edge of uncut sheet, almost always tilted, poorly centered, cut funny...not this one!

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

Another recent pick up...another incredibly difficult title to find centered and un-toned...and with two asterisks, it ain't no wonder bread junk!!!

that Shot Wheels just doesn't look right without a strip of stars running awkwardly down the left hand side....

I'll admit that does have a certain oafish charm, much like the Cheapios with half the sheet code showing.

Paul,
I'm curious if these whiter stickers are still browning over time, just much more slowly than the rest. I would think they're all subject to the same chemical reactions since they're all made of the same materials.

I think the key issues are what the sticker is made out of and the environmental conditions. Not all tan backs are exactly the same. There are glossies, and a couple of different qualities of stock amongst the non-glossies.

For a given type of sticker, long term storage in hot/humid conditions will accelerate the deterioration.

But yes, give it a thousand years and they will likely all be toned, much like all newsprint will eventually yellow.

[Soremel]

While these are not new to my collection, I recently "re-discovered" them as I was looking for another item!

[Joe G.]

George, while I've never collected OS boxes I have to say that image made my jaw drop! 

[bigtomi]

Nice, George! Is that a 1st series or two 2nds? TWO 15ths and a 5 cent Ad box?!?!?

In my best Darth Vader: ImPRESSive!!

[Paul_Maul]

I think the other purple box is OPC!

[Paul_Maul]

George, please don't say you forgot you had these!

[bigtomi]

I think the other purple box is OPC!

Ah, yes. Didn't look closely enough at the logos...told ya I'm not that observant sometimes...ok, most times.   

[Soremel]

George, please don't say you forgot you had these!

Nope, I'd never forget about these! But, the last time I looked in this particular box was when you, me, John Mann & Zenergizer had a North East Wacky Gathering at Andy's (Ditch Master's) house! (over a decade ago?)

[Soremel]

I think the other purple box is OPC!

Correct! Here's the odd bit of info ~ The Blue OPC box had OPC 4th Series cards with red wrappers and the purple OPC box had OPC 4th Series cards with blue wrappers (typical OPC logic!)
