A complete set of the 1980 Wacky Packages stickers with set album goes for 
about $200.00.  It consists of 264 stickers, which are primarily reprints of 
stickers from the first 16 series.  The first 16 series of stickers were 
issued from 1973 through 1977.  Then for 3 years, there weren't any.  In 
1980, Topps reissued a bunch of those earlier stickers.  In 1985, Topps came 
out with a new 44 sticker set, which only goes for about 20 bucks, and in 
1991 they came out with their last set, which only goes for $15 for the whole 
set.
The 1980 stickers are worth a lot if you have the whole set, because the 
whole set is hard to collect.  Individual singles though, only go for about 
60› in absolute mint, and only half of that if they are warn, have crimped 
corners, or whatever.  Those are store prices.  If *I* was going to buy some, 
I'd certainly hope to get better pricing than a store would offer - else, why 
not just go to the store?  I'd pay maybe 20› per sticker if they were in 
average but still good condition, and maybe 30› per sticker if they were 
absolute prestine mint.
If you are interested in selling them, please let me know how many you you 
have, an in what condition they are in!
