Hello Atticites!
This week I'm featuring something that I've had for about 25 years and still haven't done what I was going to do. Here it is!
You remember Wacky Packages, don't you? In the early 70s they were packaged with gum (I think) like baseball cards. There were 66 in the first series and they made fun of all sorts of products. In addition, they were stickers! So, you could paste these little suckers all over town if you wanted to, just to show your raw, untaimed, rebel kid self! Most people either collected them or stuck them on book covers or notebooks.
This sheet isn't from the early 70s, though. It's from 1979 when they were rereleased. For some reason, a lot of these uncut sticker sheets got out to the general public. So many, in fact, that you may still be able to pick one up for fairly cheap. I think I paid less that 20 bucks for this one, but that was 25 years ago.
Now for the problem. The sheet is so cheap that paying to get a custom frame for it seems silly. The frame would be several times what the sheet cost! Still, it needs to be done, and I (maybe not so much Mrs. Stu) think it would look great on the wall!
So, I might check into it again. Until then, it's gently stored away.
Until next time, keep searching for treasure!
Ha! They (whoever they are) really have a knack for coming up with whimsical, and plausible, titles. And it looks impressive seeing them all together like this.
ReplyDeleteInstead of having a custom frame made, perhaps you could find a suitable frame in a Goodwill type of store for a few bucks. Or you could make one yourself out of wood, plastic, or metal. Yer a handy guy, I'm sure you could manage it. Sounds like your main obstacle might be Mrs. Stu. ;-p
Thanks, Stu.
