I find it hard to believe that, "This entire Wacky Packages collection came out of one New England estate!" Am I one of the few "Wacky" ones here that has a couple more than 330?

According to the auction, there is 199 stickers listed and "Also includes 125 puzzle cards/check lists." Last time I added that's 324=199+125 a few short of the magical 330+

hmmm... now I am starting to wonder if maybe I'm just overvaluing this lot.

What is with the guy selling photos of wacky packages boxes? Who would want a photo? I almost bid on them. Is there a way to block multiple sellers? I already have one seller blocked and I can't seem to figure out how to block this guy, I don't ever want to see his auctions.

I have him excluded, myself. I think he published a book of display boxes, so wants to recoup something from these photos. Just go to where you'd customize your search and say to exclude and in the seller name list, add his name to the other one. You can separate the names with a space, comma or both.

I could have sworn I have tried that and then it drops the added exclusions, will try again, thanks for the help!

So I have sent several inquires into this auction. I got a quick response the first time. Asked about markings on any of the cards. White/tan backs and to send a picture of the backs. They say there is no marking but I have not seen any pictures to prove that and I have asked a couple times since and no answer.

Best quote, "If someone were to grade these cards, it's a small fortune to be made!" really !?!

I'm going to guess not one card is over a 7 on PSA and from all the offsets and bummed corners I see there wouldn't be many if any that hit that high.

Anyone else inquire about this auction?

Why are you spending any time at all on this auction? It is a pile of overpriced common cards.

Does he have all of the PSA7 Cracked Animals? I see he noted in his auction that PSA7 is the top grade so my recollection is correct.

When you see something so outlandish, it makes one wonder what's going on in their head... Mind you it has gone from $15,000 to $9,500.

Now I see they posted a pic of the backs which are not in the same order and they seem to have all these "black" smokey/burnt marks... Hmmm $100

too much?

I beg to differ! It is a pile of SEVERELY overpriced common cards...obtained at a fire sale, of course, as can be told from the backs. LOL

PSA 7 is the highest grade, but there are nine PSA 7s, he does not own all of them.

Never even noticed Gubble Bum before. I am now going back and reading gags and seeing just how awful they are. There are a few classics but there are a bunch of awful ones, you guys are right.
