Title: Irish Wackys
Post by: JailOJohn on July 27, 2021, 05:52:49 PM

Can anyone shed some light on the Irish series from 1982? I know Topps licensed and printed a series in Ireland, of which there were 12 or 13 new titles. Are these all rare, or just the new titles? Was production so low and sales so poor that hardly any if these exist today? Most of the new titles i have only seem in a book or heard in legend…..

I don’t think these are that rare. A quick eBay search shows two complete sets have sold since June 1st. One set for $125. I pulled a set  from packs back around ‘96.

I would call them scarce, but not rare....  IMHO
