![]() ![]() This series was followed by a somewhat different series called Wacky Ads in 1969, featuring parodies and roughs by Jay Lynch and Kim Deitch, with finished paintings by Tom Sutton. In all, 14 cards were pulled from the series. "Moron Salt" was pulled later and replaced by "Jolly Mean Giant", which was also pulled soon after that. Two of the cards – "Cracked Animals" and "Ratz Crackers" – were pulled from production after the initial run. This series featured parodies created by Art Spiegelman and primarily painted by Norm Saunders. The very first Wacky Packages series was produced in 1967 and featured 44 die-cut cards that were made to be punched out, licked on the back and stuck on surfaces. Relying on the talents of such cartoonists and comics artists as Kim Deitch, George Evans, Drew Friedman, Bill Griffith, Jay Lynch, Norman Saunders, Art Spiegelman, Bhob Stewart and Tom Sutton, the cards spoofed well-known brands and packaging. According to trader legend, the product parodies actually outsold Topps' popular baseball cards during the early 1970s. The cards were produced by the Topps Company beginning in 1967, usually in a sticker format. If it's not on this list then it's probably not real.From Wikipedia: Wacky Packages are a series of humorous trading cards featuring parodies of consumer products. Since these items have become highly collectible, we have assembled a master list here, so that people will know what is legitimate and what is suspect. Different papers and printers were used, different wrappers and sheets were tested. That turned out to be so popular that two high quality professionally made binders were eventually printed, in limited quantities.Ī fair number of proof and test items were generated in producing Lost Wackys series one. To have more fun one of the team made a cheap Lost Wackys binder from a dime-store album with paper inserts.In fact some of this stuff was supposed to be destroyed and some members did, but inevitably some amount of all variations have now been released to the community. The alternates did not surface for some years.Three alternate puzzles were produced, Mixwell Hearse, Jujubats and GPK (remastered). The main checklist puzzle was Janitor in a Slum.It can be debated whether these therefore qualify as true lost wackys, or just "lost and found". But to everybody's surprise, shortly after LW1 was printed the 1981 Test Irish series came to light, showing that at least in extremely limited quantities those titles had been published. Three titles, Kill, Pig Lips and Porkies were considered lost wackys in 2005 when LW1 was printed.Potato Famine, Bacteria, Usneeze, Hawaiian Punks, Tushie Roll, Winsome, Irvings Soap Clodfather, Little Barmaid, Garbage Pail Kids, Rotting Zone, Mr.The following titles have not been printed anywhere else except LW1 as of 2017: Topps even called many of them "lost wackys" and others just appeared as regular titles. More than half of the series 1 lost wackys were later printed by Topps.Additionally, some GPK-fonz variations found their way into both the yellow/purple and the green packs. Therefore it is possible to find purple/yellow packs with all "v1" titles and also with all "v2" titles. After the modifications were discovered, the "v1" titles were no longer put into the purple/yellow packs and all such packs contained the complete set of unmodified titles.The "v2" are the replacement titles that came in the green pack, which was distributed to clean up the mess.These titles had been (deviously) modified from the originals by two moles in the project. The titles referred to as "v1" below are the original modified titles that were originally included in the purple/yellow packs.There were two bonus stickers not on the checklist, which were included in some packs.There are 30 titles in the series, they were packaged in two packs with 15 stickers in each, one purple, one yellow.Read about the (mysterious) GREEN PACK here Garbage Can Dan (GPK) v1, v2, v3 ( compare) However it is possible to find various singles and puzzles, some of which are available here. They still turn up but they go for hundreds of dollars. 1st Series Lost Wackys was sold out almost as soon as it was printed. ![]()
