Thanks for the comments. My main childhood collection is long gone as well as my extras at the time. I usually was very meticulous in getting everything together and sorting everything out, but these must have just fallen through the cracks.roll the dice and get the Mrs Smalls graded, there are no 10's and like 4 9's on the market. Centering might keep it an 8 or lower but I am not expert in the random world called PSA grading...
Here are the 2 stickers that were in the pack:

Saving some roughs is great, but I'm talking about the stories behind the early days. Like what was the reason Art parted ways with Topps? Or who made the decision to stop at 16, and why? These stories will fade away and vanish if no one writes them down and gathers them together. We might even be able to scrounge enough up to put a book together! Wouldn't that be a great way to celebrate Wacky Packages' longevity?Yes, I think it's a great idea! How does one get started?
Well, it seems that my worst fears have been realized. Brick-and-mortar stores that sell Wackys are as dead as a dodo.No Topps WP products are sold at retail stores, haven’t been for years. The only thing in question is the 3D minis, which are made and marketed by a separate company. With recent news of Series 4 being on hold, cancelled or whatever, the only thing you have to lament is finding no lingering Series 1, 2 or 3 stock.
I would suspect you're in a small club there. Seems like the '85s get very little love, along with the '91s. Good for you, though, for this and having some unique items like that.
What a drag it is getting old...Beats the alternative.
Thanks for the feedback. I too have many other favorites, but not a lot of $funds$ to create such a collection for everyone of my favs. It is truly amazing on how many items contain images of Blunder bread and how many sets have this character or something similar to it.
I still collect all other WP when possible, but Blunder will always be my favorite.
