I thought the Mag 7 was

Band Ache
Run Tony
Spic and Span
Bum Chex
Choke Wagon
Grime Heavy
Pupsi

....and then it became Mag 8 when Scoot N/C was added.

I forgot about Pupsi!  That's the list I seem to remember way back when John Mann's site was the only information on the Internet and Duane Dimock was still making the lost wackys.  My memory is slipping in my old age, but I do remember sending out an e-Christmas Card to fellow collectors with those seven on it  before I left the government in 1988.  It was probably Christmas of 1987 because my department was being moved to the beltway, I wasn't moving and therefore had nothing better to do with most of my time at work.

Yeah, that sounds like it. I thought Spic and Span was on there for sure.

That's them Dave - thank you!

[jleonard1967]

Somehow, my Series 12 set was a 2020 certificate award winner!  Not sure what the criteria are, but cool nonetheless!

You had the highest graded set at the cut off date in May.

Thanks!  I'm third now, so I was a little confused.  At least it happened for me once!!

[NationalSpittoon]

I think the later series are the only ones where you have a chance at #1. Looking at the first couple series, Eric Roberts seems to have the foothold. Same with the 16th.

I haven't gotten around to posting it, but I recently acquired a Cover Ghoul PSA 8...

You are exactly correct.  There were like 10 of us collectors who named the mag 7 at the time, Scott B, John M, me, Jeff W, Jeff M, Dennis W(corrected), Scot L, Dave G, Brian L all trading and trying to collude to hold prices down on ebay with yielding to each other which of course was a disaster.

Congrats. I also recently added two PSA 8 stickers to my middlin' 15th series set - Catgobite Detergent and Smell Motor Oil. Bought both from the eBay. Quick question - is Rob from eBay store inlineonlinecollectables a member of this forum?

5th or 1st? 🤔

No. He isn’t specifically a wacky collector, he collects tons of other non sports sets as well.

Thanks. Do you have your set in the registry? And, I don't think he is on the forum. In case you didn't know, he is "ghosts1157" on the registry.

For example, here's a link to my 5th Series: https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/non-sports/company-sets/1974-topps-wacky-packages-series-5-basic/publishedset/278753

Edit: It's a 5th Series Cover Ghoul.

I'm the missing 10th in the list, and collude is such an ugly word.  Why don't we say, not compete against each other to drive up the prices.  Ah, the good old days.

No, haven't even thought about joining the registry yet. Like I said, my 15th series set is middlin' at best with only eight graded cards - all PSA 8.

[faustxxx]

What is a good price on a Dr.Ono PSA 10?

LOL, no I am an idiot, I have you listed as David W, I will fix it

Too funny!  My father-in-law accidentally had David and Lisa printed on the napkins for our wedding.  She used to date a David, and it didn't end well, so she's glad the mistake was caught before they were put on the tables.

[Paul_Maul]

Probably $300-350 I would estimate.

[faustxxx]

Thanks Paul Maul.

I have a 2nd, 6th, and 7th sets with 1 title per. I have unpublished the 6th and 7ths (never formally started the 2nd) but I don’t think there’s a reason not to start a set in the registry with eight titles. It’s up to you, of course, but why not? I went a fair bit without eight titles in my 5th series, and of course it’s my most populous now but that’s somewhat irrelevant.

Do you need a PSA membership to start a set on the registry?

[NationalSpittoon]

Nope.

Nope.

I figured it out - I'm in!

Welcome aboard! I’d be number 1 on the 15ths if I could only complete the set. Same for 11th... 😂

[faustxxx]

Does anyone know who owns the PSA10 of Hurts 2nd series tan back? Looking to trade for my 10 3rd series Dr.Ono.

I’m not sure, but assuming it’s someone to the tune of Eric Roberts, I’d give you fat chance. I’d also say that Hurts is a tougher title alone, let alone being a tan back as well.

[jleonard1967]

Your sets are a labour of love as you don't just look at the grade but at the overall appearance of the card.  I am sure you could have picked up many a card, but you turned it down for one reason or another.  I know when I have obtained cards from you that they are on the higher end of that grades spectrum.  Yours truly is an awesome collection.

I completely agree!

Most of Mike Blocks retired collection went to Eric.  You will never see those cards again, he just doesn't really sell his cards. (unless he upgraded, but you really can't upgrade a 10)

[NationalSpittoon]

Awesome, by the way. Looks like a nice start to your 15th Series. Good luck (Especially with Jerkitol).

[Yubum]

Thanks! Based on a quick peek at the pop report l guessed Jerkitol would be harder to find in PSA 8. I'm guessing I can also add Earth Barn Shampoo, Electric Slave, Famous Mobsters, Fang Edward, Hacks and Petley Flea Bags to the list.

Why would Hurts be tougher than Dr Ono when Dr Ono is a pulled title?  I have 23 Tan Hurts and 13 Dr Onos.
