2017 Topps Wacky Packages 50th Anniversary Checklist and Details
The past five decades have seen a lot of trends come and go. And when it comes to commercial products we eat, use, enjoy and indulge in, Wacky Packages have been there to spoof them. 2017 Topps Wacky Packages 50th Anniversary mixes new gags with a nostalgic trip back to the satirical product’s roots.

The quality on most of these cards is so low it’s pathetic, plus they don’t die-cut them anymore! It’s purely a cash-grab for the 50th anniv. and not worth the money.
These are horrid the worst I’ve ever seen,I love the 70s &91 series and the chrome series but these suck.
