REVIEW: Wacky Packages Stickers Series 8 Cards

Produced by Topps | Released August 2011

I have to admit, I'm not really into collectible cards and stickers. As a non-sports fan, baseball cards have never held any appeal and whilst as a child I quite liked the Buck Rogers In The 25th Century packs, they've never really held that much appeal (mainly due to the fact that I always seemed to get that bloody Space Vampire set). However, when I saw that Topps had released a new line of Wacky Packages stickers - and how much I'd enjoyed their Wacky Packages Erasers - I knew I had to at least try them.

Have I found a new collecting craze? Read on and find out...
