Joey Anuff is selling off some rare and excellent old Topps trading card stuff on eBay. He says:
This stuff is all from before my time, tracked down and collected out of perverse fascination rather than any personal nostalgia. EC Comics has been fairly well-canonized for a few decades now, but outside of Wacky Packages, the work of the same gang for Topps in Brooklyn is barely known outside card-collecting circles. Especially when you consider that Topps' mid-'60s operation basically consisted of young underground comix scenesters like Art Spiegelman and Jay Lynch art-directing legends like [Wally] Wood, [Basil] Wolverton, and [Jack] Davis for a fairly non-trivial mass market (Glen Bishop/Bobby Draper), this era easily deserves the Smithsonian treatment. Or at least a few more Flickr galleries.
