This Is Part Of My 2016 \'FIRE SALE\' sale List. Please see my Seller\'s Page for Many More Items, Thank You!Hi Everyone, Happy New Year!{{NOTE: 3/23/2016 Sorry for the continued delays in getting these items (#50-?) up but it\'s been a VERY hectic few months and it really does take quite a bit more effort to make these posts than I ever imagined. I\'m probably just procrastinating though, lol. I\'ve gotten up quite a bit but there\'s still LOTS left to list! Hopefully I\'ll be able to list the goodies mentioned below soon! Thanks for your patience and thanks for looking!}} I hope you all had a great holiday season! Unfortunately, mine wasn\'t so great. No, there wasn\'t an actual, literal fire so don\'t worry about the items I\'m going to be putting up being damaged in any way, it\'s only a symbolic \'fire\' of purging & cleansing as I close and try to let go of one chapter in my life and attempt to move on to better ones.
Anyway, after a week of deep \'soul searching\' I\'ve decided (okay, been forced to but Whatever, lol) to finally honor a New Year\'s resolution I\'ve been making for years but never keep: To let go of a sizable chunk of my personal collectibles stash. Things I\'ve collected over many decades, cared for with dedicated obsession through a dozen or more moves that spanned the entire USA, and yet just never seemed to be able to part with when it came down to it after the new year starts!
Well, this is the year I finally do it, mainly because circumstances (moving from a large 5 bedroom house to a small 2 br. apt., for example) have demanded it. And any interested seekers are in luck, because I\'m a guy who grew up \'poor\', and so learned at a very early age to take excellent care of all of my things, since I wasn\'t getting more if I broke it, scratched it, dropped it or lost it. I\'ve tried to keep all my things, but especially my cd\'s, dvd\'s, video games & game systems, and other electronic equipment, etc...looking and working like it just came out of the box. So now that I\'m finally \'house cleaning\', some people are going to get a late but very nice Christmas present...some much loved & well cared for (and in some cases very hard to find) collectibles. Some of these things, like my beloved Wacky Packs, are upwards of 40+ years old, bought with the money I earned as a sugar motivated 6 year old from my 1st job at the local convenience store, stuffing ad inserts into Sunday newspapers (sorry, I still have my Wacky Packs but I\'m afraid I ate all the candy & Laughing Cow cheese wheels so they\'re no longer available, lol )! Other things, like the Classic Books or National Geographic Map sets, are even older, could probably be considered antiques, and at one time belonged to my passed father (God rest his soul).
I\'m going to assume that if you\'re looking at this ad, you probably already know all about the item I\'m selling so I\'m not going to spend much too much time on flowery descriptions or CD track lists (unless the seller tools do it for me), but forgive me if I wax nostalgic from time to time, lol. Also, I won\'t insult your intelligence with the \"$xx.99\" at the end of every price to try to make you think $24.99 is a way better deal than $25. I\'m going to assume that you know the difference and, like me, prefer nice round, whole & simple numbers. So it\'s either going to be $xx.50 or $xx.00 at the end of every price. And since we all know condition is what matters most I\'m going to let the my pictures do most of the talking. I\'ll try to expose any flaws, if any, as often as possible, but most of it doesn\'t really have any but the most superficial flaws considering the time I\'ve had them (mainly it\'s scuffing on the exterior packaging simply from being packed and unpacked in boxes during 30 years of moving from place to place).
I\'m going to be as thorough as possible, but if you have any further questions after looking, please feel free to ask, ok? Oh, one more thing...unless I specifically state that the item was purchased by me in used condition (mainly a portion of my video games would fall into this category), then I or my father was the only owner of that item. Any item that was purchased used will have the word \"USED\" in bold letters directly before or after the price and before any description I might add below the bold faced type.
And with that, well, here goes...everything! Sorry about that very lengthy intro everyone, but I just wanted to let you all know where I was coming from. I truly hope someone out there finds in my collection that long lost sentimental treasure they\'ve always been seeking (whether they knew it or not, lol)! Thanks for reading, listening & watching, and good luck offerding everyone! Sincerely,
JD (Crypticc6) ;-o)

Bug WallyINSURANCE AND DELIVERY CONFIRMATION WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THIS DELIVERY!This set is the pride and joy of my personal collectibles collection! It\'s also the set mentioned in my \'Intro\' above. Every one of these stickers were bought by me in \'73, \'74, \'79 & \'80 as a very young boy from money I earned at my 1st jobs, and I am the only person who has ever owned them. They have been with me for 40+ years and are, with the exception of a few that have minor wrinkles or back markings, in damn fine condition! If allowed for more than 12 pics, I\'d be happy to post individual pics, but since they don\'t, I\'m forced to take \'set\' pics, so hopefully with the \'Zoom\' function, you\'ll be able to see the quality of the stickers. This is a VERY difficult set for me to let go of since these were the first thing I ever bought with my own money (other than the aforementioned candy and Laughing Cow cheese wheels, lol), but sadly, I can no longer afford to hold on to them, much as I\'d like to. I at least hope someone out there will treasure them as much as I did. Please see pics for the sticker condition details. Thanks and...Enjoy!
P.S. Please check out all the rest of the things I\'ll be putting up over the course of these next few weeks. I don\'t have a \"store\" because I\'m not a dealer (only a collector), but the \"Sellers Other Items\" link should still show you a list of all my other items. If you know anybody in your friends or family circle who may be interested in something, Please send them my Seller Page link. Thank you so much everyone, God Bless 0:-)
