I was helping my grandfather clean out his attic and he gave me a few Arcade
cabinet decals that he has had since the early 80s. One is the left and
right side of Pac-Man(mint on sticker sheet) and i think Galaga(mint on
sticker sheet). Is there a market for these? What would they be worth?

Thanks,

- DarkSpectre

Left and right of PacMan? Because Pac-Man has steciled sides, I'd be
curious what the sticker looks like....

Here are some pictures of both sides.

On each one it says "copyright© 1982 Wico Corporation"

The shipping label for the address for Wico Industries that is on the tube
is:

Wico Corporation
10514 King WM. Dr.
Dallas Texas 75220

There is a number on the tube that is also on the decals themselves. That
number is 26-3169

Here are pictures of the decals, i will post more if needed.
Sorry if they aren't that great, i have a shitty digital camera

Wow - didn't know Wico ever made replacement art - they are akin to what
I would expect from Willis (another arcade replacement art company from
the 80's). Interesting but not original and probably not worth a whole
lot, sorry :/ Might try eBay if you want ot sell - someone out there
might fall in love with it, you never know :)

Those Pac stickers are bootlegs of some kind. But I'll give you $20 for
them.

Those stickers are awesome. That Pac Hack looks like he's puking up
the cherries. I love those white tights he has on his legs. Some Pac
Man nut will definitely want those for his oddball collection, I'd
think. For novelty, if anything. Too funny.

You should post those pictures on EBAY, for a wider marker/audience to
see.

Most guys here would go for the Original Side ART.

Those pictures looked like something I once saw in a night mare :)
coughed up my own cherrys looking at them :)

Those things are awesome. If you did got the eBay route, I'd bid on
'em. Maybe stick them on my truck.

I knew those would be hot items...I'm going to buy an old cabinet just
to stick those things on.
