The ad parody concept was introduced to cards well before Topps issued its initial series of die-cut Wacky Packages cards in 1967. Leaf pioneered the concept with a 72 card Foney Ad set in 1960. Here are scans from my set: And here's a scan of the original Ratz Crackers card! The Foney Ads spawned a Canadian set by the company Goodies called Baloney Ads. Here from my collection are some scans of the Baloney Ads: The Baloney Ads set can be seen to have been a blatant rip-off of the Foney Ads set. The Baloney Ads cards feature many of the same images found in the Foney Ads set but rather sloppily redrawn. Nonetheless, the Baloney Ads are still keenly sought after by card enthusiasts these days since they're a lot more difficult to find than the Foney Ads. Leaf itself though had borrowed the ad parody concept from Mad magazine which had been running these on its back cover since 1958:

But is it still worth as much to you now as it was worth to you at the time you bought it? If so, you're fine.

I actually posted a batch earlier in this thread:

I agree! That's why it was selected for the cover of the Big Five book.

This was the very first comic that I ever bought - summer of 1965 in Ottawa, Ontario at the age of 8. I remember the day like it was yesterday... Do you still collect Gold Key titles from the sixties then?

Of course, recognize this copy Hepcat ? http://www.myslabbedcomics.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=13331&GSub=894 Yes, yes, indeed I do!

That's a beauty. That is probably the toughest Justice League issue of them all to find in grade.

Oh man, that's a fabulous comic! (thumbs u

I love those Battle Aces of 3 Wars comics and that's one I don't have! They're so tough to find in nice condition.

Never saw that one before. Great cover! Oh wow! Bill Everett rules! (thumbs u

That's absolutely a swipe of his own cover by Curt Swan!

Oh no! That nasty man is about to shoot Kid Colt!

No. The Northland pedigree covered all kinds of sixties comics including DCs, Marvels and miscellaneous publishers. The collection was brought to market by Motor City Comics in the late nineties.

Here are scans of my two unbroken sheets of the 1962 Post Cereal baseball cards that were included inside boxes of Sugar Crisp: And here are scans of all five of the unbroken sheets of the 1962 Post Cereal CFL cards that were included inside boxes of Sugar Crisp:

You bet he did! Has anyone else noticed though that DC did a lot of "women stabbing you in the back" covers during the counter-culture revolution of the late sixties? Here are a couple of Legion covers with the same concept:

Oh man! DC's dark pink covers always jump right out at you!

Here's the scene in the living room on Xmas Eve when I discovered the gift bags for our two-footed and four-footed friends in the neighbourhood: I wasn't very happy when I found out that not a single one of the gift bags was for me, let me tell you that!
