Topps Wacky Packages 2nd Series 1973 MINUTE and similar items

UP FOR SALE: Original Minute Mud Frozen Orange Juice sticker from the 2nd Series of 1973 Topps Wacky Packages. Tagline: ?The Favorite of Sophisticated Pigs Everywhere? (If that doesn't sum up '70s satire, what does?) No I will not do Standard Envelope--I expect and want tracking for both of us Info below is from Wacky Packs . Com Timeline: Topps had such great success with the 1st series that they quickly developed a second series, which they released in the summer of 1973. Packs: Packs contain Two stickers A checklist A piece of gum. Checklists/Puzzle: The flip side of the checklists form a Gadzooka puzzle The Titles: There are 33 titles in this series. As the 1st series was taken directly from the die-cuts, the 2nd series was taken directly from the Wacky Ads. Norm Saunders redid the images of the Wacky Ads in his own style and voila, 2nd series. There were eight totally new titles: Sugarmess Bubble Gum Log Cave-In Syrup Gyppy Pop Corn Putrid Cat Chow 8-Lives Tuna Bones Brittle Soap Pads Dull Pineapple Run Tony Shells The last seven on this list are the last seven titles on the checklist. One Wacky Ad title underwent a name-change, Garbage Baby Food became Gurgle Baby Food. Five Wacky Ad titles did not make it into the 2nd series. These are referred to as "the non-repeated" titles Pulled Title: Run Tony Shells was pulled during the run supposedly because Ronzoni had complained to Topps that the title was a slander towards Italians. Sheets can be found with and without Run Tony, on those without, an extra Chicken Fat takes its place. No new checklists were printed without Run Tony however. The Box: The box is the same as the 1st series but with a sticker that says "NEW SERIES". Copyrights: Back Variations: Like the 1st series, there are four different backs in the 2nd series. Topps still had some ludlow back sticker stock left over which they used up on the beginning of this series. They also printed a roughly equal amount of white and tan backed stickers. They were in a transition to all tan back stickers, but they apparently had restocked enough white back stickers to do half the 2nd series and a tad of the 3rd series. Whiteback stickers would not reappear until series 13. White (common) Tan (common) Black ludlow (rare) Red ludlow (rare) Reprints: Most of the 2nd series titles were reprinted in other series This is the list of the 33 cards in this set: Gurgle Baby Food Botch Tape Sailem Sugarmess Bubble Gum Plastered Peanuts Minute Mud Ajerx Exceedrin Ultra Blight Cap n Crud Ditch Masters Commie Cleanser Chicken Fat All-Brain Cereal Blecch Shampoo Nertz Boo-Hoo Drink Fish-Bone Dressing Gloom Kook Cigarettes Schtick Blades Poopsie Awful Bits Blunder Bread Vile Soap Hurts Tomatoes Log Cave-In Syrup Gyppy Pop Corn Putrid Cat Chow 8-Lives Tuna Bones Brittle Soap Pads Dull Pineapple Run Tony Shells AS IS AS SHOWN ?
