Looks like Bill Monk is selling them. He unearthed these several years ago before the move out of TVC

Edit: It’s actually Charlie Monk, not Bill.

Looks like he's also added a Whammy T shirt order card and an official Whammy pop-up card from the set.

The early bird definitely got the worm.  26 slides were bought earlier today via Buy It Now, almost all for less than some of the current high bids.

(Humblebrag:  Got mine early.)

SIDENOTE: The slides are 2 in x 2 in. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Just because I was curious... somebody spent over $5,000 (and a spin) on the Whammy slide?

Five. THOUSAND.

Monk has got to be kicking himself for selling most of them at low Buy It Now prices. Some of those bids may or may not actually come to fruition, but I think it's safe to say he could have gotten two or three hundred for any of them, and instead got $40 and $60.

It's still killing me that I was a few hours late to this.  I would have snatched up a "Buy It Now" price - but not where they landed.  Oh well.

Bill was kind enough to send me these 10 years ago. Maybe I should auction them off for the prices he’s getting.

I can’t imagine somebody actually doling out that cash and they’ll just renege. Memories from decades past and some of us mocked the purchase of a PYL themed t shirt for over $100.

PYL slides are the next crypto meme coin.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

This one went for $910.

Hell, the boxes that held them went for $86 and $111.

The SAN DIEGO slide went for just shy of the prize value of the trip to San Diego!
