The Wackys on the front look like just regulars with the normal copyrights. I wouldn't be surprised if there were 2 separate cards in there. It looks like the text on the back cards were cut & pasted.
This guy thinks these run-of-the-mill 1980's sheets are actually worth something. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/clt/1723925097.htmlWhat was the deal with these anyway? If I recall, there were like 20,000 produced for some reprint run or something?
What I want to know is who are the nutty people that are bidding on this:http://cgi.ebay.com/WACKY-PACKAGE-ACEO-ATC-TRADING-CARD-VIAGRA-PARODY-/310220056508?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483a8e67bcThe auction even says that the image was digitally created. Obviously created from Plastered Peanuts.

Looks like we have two different threads with this same title. Perhaps one of these should be locked?
This seller thinks his card is near mint, but some tape damage on the back lowers it to excellent condition...http://cgi.ebay.com/Lavirus-1st-Series-Wacky-Packs-1973-WB-/200475690465?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ead4845e1 I think he needs glasses.
When he says Near Mint, he means the card is next to a box of Girls Scout cookies.
Perfect thread for this auction:http://cgi.ebay.com/TOPPS-WACKY-PACKAGES-STICKER-28-HER-SHE-MR-GOODBYE-/400035308198?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d23f662a6
wow...what a deal,i wish i had money to get all the 82' series cards for such a good price
What am I missing on this one?………………..http://cgi.ebay.com/TOPPS-WACKY-PACK-COLLECTION-47-VINTAGE-STICKER-CARDS-/180525169021?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a0823797d#ht_500wt_1154
Come on now, it has a Pupsi in it, along with free shipping. What's not to like!
Hi. I don't have a question, except for how did you determine that these are worth $1,400? A lot of less than 50 Wacky Packs (including some '79-'80 reissues) is worth about $25 or so. The Pupsi-Cola is somewhat rare, but even it is worth maybe $25 alone. You might want to consider adjusting your starting bid amount...like taking the zeros off it. Just trying to help. Good luck!!
I realize that 10 of the stickers from the reissues are not worth much, but 37 of them are from the early 70's and some have sold for $200.00 to $300.00 and some that I have sold for around $100.00. Even though my asking price may seem high, I am looking at all offers and the $1,400 is not a "starting bid" it is a buy it now price with option for offers. I find it rude that you would make a comment that I find to be insulting as dropping the zeros in my price. You are well aware that this item is worth more than $14.00 so you might not want to quit your day job lol. Thanks for your helpful insight.
Continued in next post...
I am aware that the number was a BIN. My point was that this number is degrees of magnitude off. What tan/white backs did you get $100 for? What ones have you seen sell for $200-$300? As a long time collector, I am curious about this. I can also offer you this advice: If anyone offers you more than $50, take it, as they're as misinformed about these as you are.
Years ago I had a few that I sold at a card show, I think it was a dealer. I sold 5 cards and was paid close to $300.00. At the time I could not find the rest of my cards. My point being why am I to care about being informed I collected these stupid cards when I was a child and I could care less. My theory is that I will reduce the price periodically until someone buys them and I will be informed of the true value when that happens, until then I could care less. Also, why do you even care, if you are not interested and/or know that the price is too high, you can always move on. Regardless, all I need to know as a seller is that my price is better too high than too low because like I said I always reduce my price until it sells. My personal opinion is that all these items are valueless and are just clutter. I know you collect because I looked at what you purchase and I have to tell you I dumped alot of the items you purchased in the trash no disrespect, but partride family music? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Happy Collecting

lets all put this one on your 'watch list' so he thinks he has lots of potential buyers
ok who did it??someone made him an offer
I offered him $20
...did you really?he must be pissed!
Better jump on it folks. He dropped the price to 999.99.
Now it's a true deal: down to $650.
