Topps Wacky Packages Hungry Jerk 3rd Series and similar items

UP FOR SALE: Original Hungry Jerk Wacky Packages sticker from Topps 1973 3rd Series. Parody of Hungry Jack pancake mix ? ?Extra Heavy? with oozing, monstrous flapjacks. Bright colors, light edge/corner wear typical for age. Blank back as issued. Timeline: This series came out in late summer, early fall 1973. Packs: Packs contain two stickers, a checklist, and a piece of gum. Checklists/Puzzle: The flip side of the checklists form a Beanball Puzzle The Titles: There are 30 titles in this series. In the 1st and 2nd series Topps had used up all of their old images and so for the 3rd series had to create a whole new set of ideas. Copyrights: Variations and Pulled Titles: This is the first series where a mistake was corrected during production. When the series first came out Spit and Spill had "Spic and Span" written on the top and on the right side. This was removed fairly early on, making the "Spic and Span" variation rare. It can often be seen selling in the $40-$60 range. Dr. Ono was pulled during production, but late enough in the run that it is not particularly rare. Back Variations: Tan: More than 99% of the 3rd series stickers are tan backs. Tans are the common version in Series 3. White: Topps still had a very small quantity of white back sticker stock left over which they used up on the beginning of this series. This created the rare 3rd series white back stickers which is a difficult series to complete. A large proportion of the 3rd whites were distributed in the Saint Louis area. Spic and Span "blank lid" white back: For the longest time it was believed that there is no Spit and Spill white back without the "spic and span" logo on the box top. However, at least one or two legitimate white back "blank lid" variations have since turned up. This must be the rarest of all 1-16 cards, even rarer than the Bandache Red Ludlow. The Boxes: This series started with a purple box with red packs, as in series 1 and 2, but early in the run they switched to a blue box and yellow packs. Reprints: Most of the 3rd series titles were reprinted in other series.
