does anyone remember these? they're a lot like "garbage pail kids", but they're meant to make fun of everyday products, from crackers to cleaning solutions to breakfast cereals...

well, my cousin claims that she just got some uncut sheets of these trading card stickers, and she's supposed to mail them to me soon. pretty crazy stuff. she and i used to collect and trade these between ourselves when we were kids, so there's a bit of nostalgia attached.

[jkaris]

Yup, those were fun. I think they were the precursors to GPK's.

[ToyMan]

yeah, i think they might have beat them out by at least a few years, if not more.

anyone else remember something called "grody high" that were all cards (not sure if they were stickers) featuring pimple-faced teenagers?

[Warsman]

i got like a full box in my garage
they are awsome

[ToyMan]

which?

[Krangala]

WPs have been around since the 50s.....

[ToyMan]

yeah, that figures seeing as my mom said that she had them when she was a kid.

Man, I miss card collecting. I used to have a few of the cards you mentioned. I also had a series that featured dinosuars graphically mutilating humans. It was based off of a cult comic series, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the series. Hey, Toyman, do ya think you can help me out. Where would I find a listing for cult comic cards?

[ToyMan]

no idea m'man.

i checked some gpk sites hoping they'd have info about other series of the same type, with no luck so far.

all i can suggest is doing some searching through google and altavista.

They were called "Dinosaurs Attack!" riding on the old "Mars Attacks!" set.....

I remember picking up packs (years after they were released) for a nickel apiece at a discount store once........

[Doctor Dew]

there is a store near me that still sells sealed "Dinosaur Attacks" card packs. I'd pick them up for cost and shipping if anyone wants any. i am selling the owner a bunch of my atari games, so i am going over there every now and then. it would be no big deal.
i myself have a complete set and think they are pretty sweet. sorry to go off topic, but Taichi started it!

[FNX_RISING]

Dew, you are my hero. About how much do the packs run, how many could I get, and what would be your preferred method of payment?

I remember the Wacky Pagages stickers! In fact, I stuck a bunch of 'em to my bedroom closet when I was a little girl....and my mom was so pissed because they wouldn't come off.

Raggedy Ant, Prespiration H...ah the memories.

Of course it didn't help that I "decorated" the rest of the closet with Magic Marker...the indelible kind.

These sound cool, but i have no idea what they look like.
Warsman, could you possible post a few pics?

Muchas thanks commrade!

[ToyMan]

Raggedy Ant, Prespiration H...ah the memories.

i think the one that sticks out in my mind the most is "tattooed skins" (was that it?) instead of "tater skins". they were like patches of skin from bikers with cheesy flash tat designs on them...

[Warsman]

I'll be scanning them later tonight

[FNX_RISING]

Go to Ebay and search for Wackey Packages under Trading cards - Non Sport. I found a couple of listings there if anyone is interested in getting more.

[Warsman]

just a few of them 48 are in this series

[Doctor Dew]

ha! those are great. i like Sane Balls the best. too funny....

[ToyMan]

y'know, i never could figure out why "stupid moron bros 2" was a video tape case...
