I love surprises. Especially when they are Wacky Package-related!
I recently purchased a lot of 51 stickers that, at first glance, looked like they were in pretty questionable shape. The first thing that caught my eye, were the 14 stickers that had been re-adhered to random backings with Scotch tape! The picture of the lot was taken at a distance, so it was hard to see much of the condition of the other stickers. But, even though the picture was distant (and blurry), I decided to take a chance and purchase them. The copyright lines on the 3rd series titles looked smaller than normal, but it was hard to tell if it was just because of the poor photography. The BIN cost was $25., so I figured, if they're all dogs, at least I'll have some cool correspondence envelope sealing material on hand!
Well, my gut feeling about the copyright sizes turned out to be a good one. I received the package of stickers this morning, and all of the 3rd series stickers were OPC's, and in really nice shape! AND, the "Argh" is an elusive OPC tan back!
The rest of the stickers were in much better shape than I expected, too. The white back of the Duzn't sticker is absolutely spotless!
