Things have been relatively quiet in the forum, so I just wanted to see what interesting non-sport packs you may have picked up over the last few months. Feel free to post a photo or two!
I haven't seen the Scanlens Star Wars pack before! Thanks for posting.
I haven't seen much for sale recently due to the pandemic but I got these in trade last year. First time I've seen a Hot Seat Stickers pack. I love the graphics!
Not to derail the thread, but the past two packs pictured, fleer big wad and donruss mouthfull were probably in response to Topps issuing the bazooka gum packs (pictured below). All 3 of these packs are very difficult if not nearly impossible to find. Any theories why next to none have survived?
My guess is that they were primarily viewed as gum and were thrown out when they got stale. Most card packs were viewed as cards and kept on the shelf until they sold, One of those Bazooka packs just sold on eBay (I got outbid, sadly).
On the other hand, stores always sell stale gum so maybe I don't know...
The centering on your Big Wad pack is amazing. Usually the word "original" isn't visible on the front!
1977 Scanlens Star Wars. I'm interested in finding the O-Pee-Chee version too.

The Hot Seat pack is funny! I don’t have one of those.
All I’ve gotten in probably a year.
I just got this one:
Hopefully we can start going to show again soon!
