I always liked these,too. Yes,I did know about the ones with Larry Wood's #. I'm holding out for an excellent to mint. I just got a mint yellow one I'm real happy about. Those were in a set,so no package. I wanted to bid that packaged original shown. I don't have PayPal (ever) and for some unsolvable reason can't get it under my current Ebay name and e-mail. So,I always send a message asking if a postal money order would be accepted before I bid and how this is how all my transactions have been carried out with great success (100%). Out of 50 or more purchases I've had 3 say no and that guy (DH) was one of them. HWC reissued that same white truck commemorating Larry's 40th ann. and a Charcoal one as a HWC issue
The Backwoods Bomb came in Green w/dragon tampo. Then,there's a blue version (fairly rare) with a stripe tampo,which is the same tampo as on the '12 re-issue in the same Green as the one w/dragon. I got the ok to bid on that blue one in the package,went to check it out and it was already up to $68 or so,and I didn't bid. That thing ended up at $169!!
