I definitely saw an eyeglass case on ebay long ago.  I thought it was merely a creation from the various bolts of cloth we have seen over the years.  This box full of these is very cool and seems it will lend itself to more of a story on these.  Can't wait to hear more about this.

Cool.  I have one of the eyeglass cases; always thoughts it was just a handmade craft item but looks like they were massed produced. I guess the same for the collared shirts that we have seen on ebay occassionally over the past few years.

I have an eyeglass case, as well, but it is different from these. These appear to just be an elastic type material that you just slide the glasses into. Mine is quite solid and it opens with a snap (very much like a standard hard eyeglass case), though the Wacky pattern is very similar.

Here it is:

Those are really cool. Looks like fake denim. And the material is called "Crazy Case", lol

No doubt, those spoons are one weird item! The NeveReady looks pretty good, but the Gulp, Blast, and Fink images have their can corners cropped, and the maker forgot to fill in the black upper and lower border of the Kook, whoops. Is that Jay’s family crest inscribed on each one? I want to buy them because they are so strange.

More power to him if he thinks they are worth $2500, but I don't find them that appealing and wouldn't really even want one at a good price.

I agree $2500 seems like a lot of money.  I bought one of the eyeglass cases for about $8 on ebay about 10 years ago. That's about all my interest would be.

$2,500.00?  Wow, sounds like that price has an extra zero at the end of it.  Maybe if it was a verifiable Topps release but it's not.
