Wackypackages and Ugly stickers cards discovery

[Crust]

I was reading a non wackys post about Ugly stickers cards from the 60's and the 70's. I went to a site and was looking at pictures of the cards and this is what I noticed. Number 3 in the Ugly stickers cards monster, is the monster that was used of the series 3 wacky ''Alive"! I thought this was a really interesting reused piece of art, and I think I am the first to notice. Sadly I can not post a link so I recoomend typing in ulgy monsters on google images and looking at the Alive card. Tell me what you think

I actually caught that when I saw the ANS card and was stunned. When I was a little kid (before Wackys) my older brother had a rubber monster that was THAT monster! Then I spotted it AGAIN on the Norm Saunders site (see here -- third one down -- had a bunch of the others too) and was simply flabergasted.

What a trip.

Huh... My sister and I had three of these things when we were young... In fact, it was the three shown in the blister pack on page 5. I have no recollection on where they came from.

Well even though I did not discover it, it's still interesting how Topps did that and it was a good idea by David Gross to reuse that art! I hope that Topps does more things like it! Since "Alive" is a Wackypack and has an Ugly Monster on it that makes it an interesting item for collectors of both to have!

It seems that Topps had the idea  of making rubber monsters of the Ugly stickers in their minds, when they came up with the idea of Wackypacks erasers.
