That's interesting Ernie. I've never seen Wacky's in a vending machine before. Is this something that is indigenous to New Jersey or are they like this elsewhere?

I have seen them at A&P and I think Shop Rite but not all over the place.  Are the flashbacks in cellos some kind of home made packages by whomever fills the vending machine?

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Great way to get rid of commons. Although, looks like the series 6 packs are selling very well at $1, there looks like only one pack left.

I started a thread on the old forum about Wackys in the local supermarket vending machine, and eventually posted a picture.  What was most amazing then was I paid $1 for a cello wrapped bunch of about 25 old Topps cards, and found a series 3 Wacky checklist.  It was just too cool to find that in a new purchase!  Since then I've picked up a bunch of loose ANS packs, but I haven't seen any cello wrapped stickers, Flashback or otherwise.

Yeah the $1 for the ANS6 packs is a good deal but those Flashback stickers....

I wouldn't know a good deal on ANS stickers if it smacked me in the face.....I just haven't kept up.  I will take another pic of this vending machine next time I am in the area if anything is left.

My wife and I spotted this sign in downtown Washington, DC last weekend. We didn't visit the exhibit though...

That is great!
And “border protection” is a funny Wacky pun!

It appears you didn't have the title in your wallet to slap on the sign, which might have been a good story if you were caught.  ;D

Although not technically a WITW, I ran across this image and hadn't seen it before or don't remember seeing it. From the show Weeds a few years ago. I don't watch it, but my bro says it's great. I'm sure this has been posted at least once in the past, but here it is again for anyone like myself who missed it. The mannequin hand appears to be reaching to grab a sticker from the sheet!

I watch "Weeds".  It is a pretty good show but the story-line this season is getting kind of tiresome.  I remember that episode with the Wacky sheet.  Someone did post about it on Greg's forum last year some time.  There was even a line in the show that mentioned the sheet.  The family was selling a bunch of stuff in their house and the oldest son made a comment about some customer that was interested in the Wacky Pack sheet.  We need to find a clip of that line.

Happened across this on the Facebook  "Wacky Packages Trading/ Buying & Selling" Group. Check out the displays in the room she is working on.

That's incredible!  Would like to see her room in greater detail.  Very impressive Wacky sign she has hanging over the cabinets.

Link isn't working for me. You need to join the group, but I'd rather just see the photos.

Unfortunately, it’s a video. Doesn’t appear to be on YouTube. There is one pic, but it doesn’t show the Wacky items.
