Wacky Plaks
Topps - 1959

Notes:  The "plaks" are postcard-sized, approximately 2-1/2" x 4-5/8", and
feature artwork by Jack Davis. Some sources speculate that some of the
plaks were short-printed or overprinted. Different versions were also
manufactured under license by Scanlens in Australia and A & BC in England.
(Paul Tachian reports that at least one of the Australian cards wasn't in the
U.S. set, thanks!)  The numbers were rearranged when Topps reissued the
set as Kookie Plaks in 1965; the collector reference number for this set is
R708-4. Thanks much to Bob Hall for the checklist!
