Hype

Wacky Packages Old School coming soon

BC Cola promo card for Wacky Packages Old School

This summer, Topps and creator David Gross present Wacky Packages Old School, a trading card sticker set that takes us back in time. Not a reprint series, the Old School project features brand new parodies of 1970s-era products, imagining that Topps had not stopped releasing Wacky Packages in 1977.

Each box of Wacky Packages Old School will hold 24 packs containing stickers and a puzzle card/checklist. Extra goodies will also be included: A Wacky logo sticker, a promo sticker for Old School series 2, three 5x7 size stickers, a Jay Lynch original sketch card, and more to be announced. Wacky Packages Old School will be available direct from Topps in their Online Store.

See the promo card front and back; see also the one-sheet flyer for the set, and check back for more information.
