Reminds me of the first time I met Duane. I'd only just gotten back into Wackys a couple months before (ah... 1997, 20 lbs. lighter and no gray hair), and I drove out to the Rose Bowl swap-meet, hoping to score some Wackys. Came upon a booth with a Ratz & Cracked right there on the table. I'd only just heard of these titles and their value, too, as I never had die-cuts as a kid. Asked the guy how much, and he said 5-bucks or something, which of course shot my blood-pressure to "me in 2020" level at first. Then he honestly showed me they were reproductions. When my voice came back, I mentioned I'd heard this Duane Dimmock dude had been making them. And instead of saying he was him, he asked me, "Oh, what do you think of that Duane guy?". Luckily I was diplomatic. We had a laugh & I eventually got invited to the most incredible "collectors house" I'd ever seen. One of the wildest "Wacky Pack Events". I think John and I must have hung out there for literally 6 or 8 hours. So much to see. I wonder how he's doing. Haven't heard from him in years. Biggest cereal box and cereal premium collection imaginable. Kool-Aid too. Good ole' Duane.
