“ I love these. The juvenile humor makes me feel like a kid again. ” -Doe MG

“ I know these are suposed to be fun and all, but... So corny. I'll pass. ” -mkaz80

“ Saw a series of these for sale at the dollar store. The kid in me keeps me collecting, but I'd have to go back in time and be a kid again to be interested in these. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Haha. That is all. ” -RoyalChief

“ Yes, head shavers! ” -carthage44

“ Wacky Packages are always fun, loved getting packs of those. ” -702tpr777

“ In general I am actually quite fond of parody cards. I am quite fond of Major League Baseball. San Diego Padres are my favorite baseball team. This card just hurts my feelings because it isn't really that humorous. ” -YoRicha

“ OK, I guess. While I like Wacky Packages, like everything else they do, Topps has got to run it in the ground. ” -Doc Floyd

“ I have no words. ” -Brimose

“ No thanks. I just don't find these funny. At all. ” -switzr1

“ Ah Wacky Packages. I loved them back in the day (the 1970s), In the early to mid 80s when they made a sort of return with the smaller sized stickers with the album I was sort of for it. Then in recent years they have made some retro and reprint sets that I am not that into. So this is last year's attempt to relate them to the baseball teams. I recall Topps inserted them into the regular card packs. I think one of the major differences were the originals many of the jokes/products were truly funny and just tacky enough to be enjoyable, and the newer stuff just doesn't seem that original or that funny. I think it would have been better if instead of trying to make MLB related wacky packages they just came up with some parody team names. Like that custom Star Wars set where the matched the MLB teams up with some Star Wars creatures or organization. ” -captkirk42

Wacky Packages where a thing back in the day before the internet and not having 1000's channels on TV

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.
