Description: I'm letting go of the Wacky Packages I collected as a child - I'm the original owner of these which, like every other kid of the 70's, kept these in a shoe box until I realized a few decades ago they might be worth something and transferred them to Mylar card sleeves where they have remained until now. As I started to read online about how to value these, I realized it's pretty complex in terms of grading, variations, etc. So to make it easier on myself, I'm offering several lots of the early 70s series to sell them in bulk and perhaps a collector with more time than me can break them up by selling individual cards. First, a brief word on condition and "grading." I have not had these professionally graded - instead they're going directly from an old shoe box to eBay. I'll let the pictures tell the story and if you need more or better pictures of any particular card/sticker, just let me know. I'd describe all of these as being in excellent condition. The corners look sharp and crisp (but use the zoom function on eBay to judge for yourself). Some have some very minor foxing due to age (again, use the zoom function) which can really only be seen upon very close inspection. Though the photos of the backs make these stickers/card look "wavy" - that's due to the glare from the Mylar sleeves. The stickers/cards themselves are flat and not wavy. They have no writing on them except where explicitly noted (no writing on these 3rd series cards) This particular auction is for "Series # 7" from 1974 with tan backs. It is only a partial set containing 11 of the original 33 cards in the series but also included are some "doubles" so you're actually getting 14 cards (everything pictured) plus a partial puzzle card set. I guarantee this is an original set from the early 70s having been in my possession since then. Please note that for each series I'm listing, I also have extras (multiples) for several cards (and puzzle cards) because like all kids back in the day, I was buying up tons of packs to try to complete my sets. So if you need just one or a few cards from any series I'm listing, let me know and I may have it. I'm not sure what to do with all the extras but eventually I may group them all into a couple of big lots rather than try to sell each one separately to save myself a lot of time. Item will be sent via Priority Mail in a sturdy mailer reinforced with extra cardboard to ensure they arrive safe and sound. I will also combine shipping if you buy other, similar items to reduce the costs to you. Unfortunately I don't accept returns unless the item doesn't comply with the pictures. I'm trying to get rid of stuff, not retain it.
