It had the original rose sample sticker on the front, and was in original shrink wrap. It sold for $99.99. I purchased over 300 of the Golden Scratch and Sniff books from the Golden Book Company, in 1999, before they closed. They had back copies of every book they ever printed, and they sold them all very cheaply. The Golden Scratch and Sniff Books were all still in shrink wrap with sample rose stickers. I got some of each of the fifteen titles except "Professor Wormbog's Gloomy Kerploppus." I still have about 100 of them left and will be posting more on Ebay soon.art milewskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-27491248686400325032011-06-17T20:56:38.233-05:002011-06-17T20:56:38.233-05:00One of my favorite books.

But no scratch and sniff. There was a SEALED copy of this on eBay about two years ago (with the rose sticker on the shrink wrap, do you remember that sticker? I sure did when I saw it!). I got outbid at the last second. My two copies are pretty low on "sniffableness." There is another scratch and sniff Mercer Mayer book that has since been de-sniffified... "Little Monster's Scratch and Sniff Mystery" (now known as "Little Monster Private Eye: The Smelly Mystery")Antmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367691742635002918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-75355219433938214492011-06-07T16:12:44.425-05:002011-06-07T16:12:44.425-05:00Awesome!
