I always wondered what the lowest PSA rating would be.  I couldn't imagine someone sending in a crap sticker for grading.  Well...I guess I now have the answer to my question.
think about it though - the population report for these guys are probably just 1 each. How freakin' rare is that??? You can say you have the one and only PSA 1 Tied. There are no others!  :great:

I would wager every one of these stickers is wonder bread. Under that assumption, and with about 1,000,000 uncirculated wonder bread sets floating around, is it really that hard to get PSA 9's and 10's? Overpriced to say the least.

What does the PR on the Tied card mean. The other says "good" in the same location. PR - pretty rediculous?

PR = PooR ?

or perhaps "Particularly Rank" ?

This is the only eBay seller whose Wackies I specifically ignore in my search. Only schmuck in 11 years to deserve that honor.

hmmm where can I get one of these sets?  I would be very interested in one.  I used to eat so much wonder bread just so my mom would go out and buy another loaf hahaha.

What you see is what you get, he says! Right about that. At least there are no "stock" pictures of wackys on ebay. If that were the case, there'd be even more unhappy buyers out there.

I am glad he pointed out the small rip in the card that does not affect the sticker at all.  I really like an honest seller with full disclosure.  I never understood why he was charging $7.99 for the one sticker.  But, now I realize that there is a BONUS STICKER on the back.  This changes everything.

Sorry, I am all out of sarcasm for the moment so I will have to stop here.  I did contact this guy once and told him his Duxie rodent-chewed sticker was not worth listing and had no value.  Also, I told him that all he had to do was do a search for similar items and he would know this.  He was very bitter and sent me a lengthy response about how he wanted to have the most items for sale on ebay one day.  It was a very strange response.  It made me laugh.  I wish I saved it.  The guy is a total kook.

I did save it 'cause I told him the same thing back in October and got the same response. Here it is:

Thank you so much for your great insight and is there anyway I could pay you for your vast knowledge, it is priceless to me, you see I know a little about everything and a lot about nothing. SO I will continue to list them, see what I'm really doing is, I'm going to wait until I have a stockpile of 2500 items and I'm going to list them all for a penny each ! It's going to be crazy !!! I can't wait to go nuts !! CaN you imagine finding and packing 2500 items !!! From my experience the more you put on the more you sell, I don't care if I garbage picked it or bought an entire estate !! It will sell, you may even say I talked to that guy once...he's the biggest seller on ebay !!! They call me the Legend !!

I love the part about how he can't wait to go nuts. Looks like the wait is quite over...

It made me laugh again, even the second time reading it. Oh boy, has he listed his 2500 items yet. I am going nuts just waiting for that from the Legend! Legend of crap and jerkyness.

Too funny! It's hard to tell, but doesn't it look like this sticker does not have a die-cut? I don't see any highlight along the kiss-cut edge that you would normally see.

Even stranger, are the two faint vertical lines on the left & right of the sticker. Especially the right side ~ at first I thought it was the sticker front sliding off of the backing but, but upon closer examination, those lines look like pencil lines. The right side vertical edge looks like it was hand cut using that line as a guide. It makes me think that it was either an uncut, unscored sheet that someone cut into individual stickers, or, it's a color copy ~ only hole in the color copy theory is that the seller states that this item has a tan back.

(Whooa, I've got to lay off of the caffeine! 2 hours of sleep each night this week is starting to take its toll!)

Hey! How have you been? Yep, I'll be at the Spring Show! I'm going to have a table at this show. Nothing spectacular, a few Wacky odds & ends. It will be the table with the least amount of stuff on it! LOL! I'm primarily going to talk Wackys, trade, etc. I'm planning on bringing some original rejected Wacky art from titles that were considered, but eventually dumped ("Grosstitos" & "Verbal Essence" to name a couple) I will also have the original pencil roughs that were submitted to Topps for those pieces. I'm mostly looking forward to reconnecting with everyone!

I like that title, Verbal Essence. It's instantly recognizable and make you curious to see it. I remember experiencing the same thing as a kid, when you looked at your puzzle piece checklist and read the titles you didn't yet have. Certain titles made you really anticipate finding that card when opening a pack and finally checking it out.
