    This is a rare collection of Wacky Packages Old School Series 6. There were a small number of set created and I'm so excited to add these to my collection. They were shipped out very quickly and the packaging kept them well protected. The cards are just as described and the parody artwork is just as funny as ever! They were well worth the price as they are rare. Thank you for the awesome service!
