Topps has finally produced a coffee table book about Wacky Packages with exclusive bonus stickers and interviews. Such a book has been a long time coming and will finally hit the street, release date is April 30th. This book features Series 1-7 from 1973-74.
  • Hardcover with dust jacket, measuring 5 7/8" wide, 7 1/2" high, 1" thick, 240 pages, 1 lb 3 ounces.

  • A total of 29,398 copies were printed.
    • 15,000 1st printing
    • The 2nd through 6th printings combined add up to another 14,398 copies
      • The 2nd thru 6th printings combined constitute less copies than the 1st printing

  • The pages are stitched in, rather than just glued. It's more expensive to produced a stitched book and it's a lot more durable. Abrams went the extra mile on that to make a better product.

  • There are special forwards by legendary Wacky Pack artists Art Spiegelman and Jay Lynch.

  • Art Spiegelman was a pioneer in Wacky Packages, conceiving all of the 1st series titles you remember from 1973. He went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1992.
    • He hasn't talked about Wackys in decades so this article is greatly anticipated.

  • Jay Lynch has been involved in Wackys since the 60's conceiving over half of the 70's Wackys and he has a keen perspective on the genre.

  • The book features pictures of all 232 stickers from series 1-7 (they are just pictures not actual stickers).

  • Also included are three never before published "Lost Wackys" (actual stickers) exclusively available only with this book, and a version of Muller Beer not seen since 1967.

  • Eleven anomolies have been found so far.

  • Reviewed on CNN
