Just For Fun - Remember Wacky Packages?

I sure do remember these things. Wacky Packs or Wacky Packages stickers were so hot in my school back in the early 1970s. But who ever would have thought that they'd become real collector's items someday? Not me, but they apparently have. You can find more of them at the Wacky Packages Website. I remember collecting them in school when I was 9 or 10. We'd stick them all over our notebooks and things. I particularly remember the one above for some reason but there are all kinds from the 70s, etc. Reissues are available and, I believe, original sticker sets are also for sale. Here are some of the best.

Now, if I had only saved my Adam 12 Lunch Box... I heard that some of those are going for $500! Anybody got any Pop Rocks?

Addendum

I just saw a report on CNN about collectible comic books. It mentioned that an original Batman comic book that sold for 10 cents in 1939 is now worth $485,000.00! How's that for appreciation in value?! And what's the backbone behind it all? I think we know....this is an art blog. If you're interested, check out Metropolis Collectibles' website.
