Are you NEW to Wacky Packages and wonder about them?   Perhaps I can help.  While I am not an expert regarding them, I definitely qualify as a fan of them.

Wacky Packages are made by Topps Inc, the same company who makes many sport collectible cards, and other collectibles. They have been in business forever.

Wacky Packages are spoofs of actual products or items or things you see in your everyday life.  Often ridiculous, mostly hilarious, sometimes gross, and ALWAYS sarcastic.  If this describes your sense of humor or that of someone you know, then Wacky Packages are for you!  They are extremely creative to say the least.

While Topps contends that they don't imply they will increase or hold value, they most certainly do! Wacky Packages from the very first season of them sell upwards of $30+ EACH ! 

Wacky Packages originally started out JUST as stickers.  A full set is usually 50-60 of different ones.  Topps started "Chase" cards or stickers as mostly they are stickers.  But now they have recently issued MAGNETS of some of the original stickers as well as new ones.  This latest series has FOIL CARDS (but they are still stickers) I am not kidding when I say you could easily spend $70 or more trying to get ALL of the "Chase" stickers or magnets in any given series.  There is always ONE in the set that seems more difficult to find than others, and those often will sell around $10-$15 while the series is "HOT" which is usually the first month of the series release.  It cools down a little, but not completely as more an more people are now collecting Wacky Packages!   They have a cool website too for more information and fun activities for kids (although some of the material on Wacky Packages themselves is often above the grasp of most kids humor capabilities or knowledge)

wackypackages dot com is their own site.  Also feel free to email me (directly bbscheap at aol ) please don't message me through ebay's system as it is too time consuming to access) if you have any questions or seek certain stickers as I will try to get them if I don't have them for you already!   
So far my favorite Wacky Packages sticker in this new series (called ANS3 or All New Series Three) is the PULL MY FINGER SMELLMO spoofing Tickle Me Elmo.   It has a smelly Elmo and Ernie, Big Bird and Oscar featured in the corner.  Ernie and Big Bird have a disgusted look on their face as the smell overwhelms them.  Oscar has a huge smile on his face.   LOL
