Looks like 5 sets total, so far, if I counted right. Great to know Dave's still got his. Was fun tying that race w/him in 2000. But I have no clue where my old set went. They weren't all still in cellophane, but many were. Sounds like a lot of the stragglers ended up completing sets, which is great. I'm guessing there's probably at least another few out there that aren't counted or aren't on this forum, too. Maybe 10 realistically?
What's weird, though, is that the Wallace Berrie stuff was EVERYWHERE in the 70's/80's. The bulk of it is ugly as heck. But every discount store & craft store had that stuff. So, I have to think the print run for the Wacky Plaques, given their popularity at the time, must have been a lot more than 10 sets and some singles. I wonder if they literally trashed what didn't sell or if there's a nice find somewhere out there in a warehouse. Since I saw them at Pic-N-Save as a kid, I'm guessing that was by the time they didn't sell somewhere else. That store was like a cross between Marshalls/Ross and the 99c store. Mostly junky overstock.
