Nicely done set. Bog Red seems to really stick out at me for some reason as does Ork. Mini postcard is a plus as is the Weakies propaganda material thrown into the box. The cards are sturdy and have a nice re-occurring theme on the back(s).
First two sketches are:

Are those 2 of the same Lynch sketches? I wish I could read what it says.
-
I see 2 Engstrom Vampires have shown up. That tells me that it's probably fairly common. One collector also pulled 2 of the same toothie roll sketch that are pretty similar. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say all Lynches are probably different just like PC7
-
Both one in the same.
"Lil' werewolf gal, we townfolk done took up a collection to buy you this one-way bus ticket to New York City! You can do your werewolfin' there from now on. We is sick of you."
Response: "Hully gee! Thanks, Mister Mayor! I've always wanted to see C-B-G-B.'s!"

Here are the three sketches I pulled. I'm certainly getting into the Halloween spirit :d030: Thanks to Neil and all the artists!!

Just regular UPS. I live Manhattan, so maybe that helps with shipping speed somehow?

Everyone's sketches are sketch-o-rific, but I especially like the last one you posted. Very minimalistically eerie (I don't even know the characters yet).

I agree, that last one is dynamite.

Yeah, all three are superb. I got a thing for the frogs, Pat's drawing at the bottom is so eerie, and Neil's Ork is outta this world.

Can I assume this is a Jeff Zapata sketch since the artist doesn't seemed to have signed it? Anyone intersted in sketch trades, let me know.

Really nice. I think you sold the combo sketch too cheap on eBay. I didn't see it until it was too late.
-
Is that a "JZ" in the neck area?
Could be, he was the artist for this title so I assumed it is his. I only want to get one keeper sketch, I know several collectors will try to get one of each artist sketch so I am making the two pictured available for now...
-
Is that a "JZ" in the neck area?
Yes, that's a Jeff Zapata for sure. That's his postcard art too.
-

Agreed! I just bought it off eBay without even knowing what I have coming in. I needed to burn up $65 worth of eBay bucks before the end of the month and love this sketch.
I don't think you are going to see big sales for the next day or so. People want to see what they get before buying anything.
-
I just started to sort out the different sketch titles/artists that have surfaced so far, and it is getting crazy. I already have seen 13 different ones, and I've counted four each already from Neil and Brent!
It's seems the artists are "cross-breeding" with this series. For example, I've seen both All Toads and Hairy Mane from Brent, and neither of those titles were his, either concept or art.

The Toothies seem to be popping up quite a bit already. I've only seen 3 of the lemon guys and all are different so far
-
I got my 3 sets tonight and I'll post my scans in the morning.
I absolutely love the All Toads postcard. I think it's my favorite post-2004 Wacky! I don't own any original art but if that one showed up I might want to take a shot. For now I'll take the postcard and put it into a frame!

Love this! The evolution of sketch cards is very encouraging!
I'm also hoping these excellent Lynch cards are a sign of things to come in OS3! :great:

What is your definition of "popping up", seeing three of them?
-
What is your definition of "popping up", seeing three of them?
Well, I've seen 4 already and they are almost all the same. With the new series just getting in a few collectors hands I would say its common. With 660 sketches I'm trying to see what are the common sketches. We've seen a few examples of very unique Lynch sketches but none have shown up on eBay yet. They will soon.
Look at the Simko PC7 sketch. Too many showed up and drove down price dramatically.

I think we'll know better after another 3-4 days or so when we can look at a larger sampling. If Joe S. only did that one title it would be one of the more common ones.

I still find it humerous that all you care about is scareness of sketches and evaluation of the "market". I am glad I only seek one sketch I like per set now. I give zero credance and worry to common-ness or scareness of sketches. It allows me to purely evaluate the "look" and not the "market".
-

We'll know more in a week. We've seen these signs before and the prices drop like rocks. Basically telling people to wait on common sketches and you will find them for under $30 each in a few weeks.
I'm saying this without actually seeing what I pull! I sure hope I get 3 Lynches and one is color...LOL

Read my previous post. It is about market value if you need the common sketches for your own collection. No need to pay more than you have to.

Read my post, I don't care about common-ness of sketches. Before the common-ness or scareness is even known, I made mine available for trade just purely looking for one I want to make my keeper. IF I trade away a "scarce" one for a common one, so be it....I don't care, get it yet?

Geez what climbed up your ass? I never said one thing about your collecting habits. I made a comment about Toothies and now you are comparing that to how you collect?

Notice the "JZ" initials in the bottom left corner.

I said I find it to be humerous that you primarily speak about sketches only in terms of commonness and pricing. Barely 10 sketches have hit the market and you are already speculating on "commonness". Do you even find the sketches cool, exciting, eerie, boring....or are they just commodities to you? Have you noticed the number of "combos" like Dr Popper has? I think the "combo" that drdeal sold on ebay last night for $65 was cool and I am kicking myself for not buying it as it would likely have been my keeper even if it turns out later that 100 similars ones were created.
Will a new wacky pack series be able to come to market without the first concern being "value" before an analysis of the gags and coolness of the product is discussed?
-
Here are the three that I pulled:

-
Really nice. I think you sold the combo sketch too cheap on eBay. I didn't see it until it was too late.
I thought it was a good price too but I have a feeling that we are going to find more combos with this series than with the past series. I've already seen 3 different ones Neil did and all 3 had different characters, so I wouldn't be shocked to find out that he did an ORK combo with every postcard character. If that's true it will lower the value of them for sure.
I also noticed a few of these "All-Stars" ones Neil did, and he may have done one of those for every character! If my assumptions are correct I'm not going to try to collect all of them. That would be crazy. I think I'll stick to the ones that pertain to the artists that did them.

I explained that if a sketch is common then they are easier to come by if you don't get one with your initial order even if they are really cool. Why spent $100 now for a sketch when you can get it for around $30 in a few weeks. Me saying something is common is just me telling everyone my opinion and not telling people what to collect. I also stated that the combo was cool and I would have bought but missed out. I also said he sold it too cheap.
Man, why do I have to keep repeating myself. I don't think you read my posts ;D

Two of the same sketches. That stinks! What are the odds? I know of another guy that got 2 Toothies also in his 3 packs. Terrible collation. I'm thinking Simko did 100 Toothies now...LOL

They are #'s 189 and 061 so it's not like they weren't mixed up enough. Just bad luck I think. Trading is fine though.

I like this one. But I don't collect them so it's for sale.

Really nice. I think you sold the combo sketch too cheap on eBay. I didn't see it until it was too late.
I didn't realize he was eating the other candy. I thought he was eating a peppermint patty. Rob got a good deal. I am still ahead since my color sketch from the last pc release went for $675 :)

Thanks for your biz. I sorta hated to part with that one. It's definitely a unique and eerie sketch. But, after Series 1, I've made it a point to collect only one sketch from each Postcard release. And I like for my keeper sketch to be a more defined character. Now I've just gotta decide which of my remaining 2 to keep: the frog or the Ork. Both are pretty cool. It's going to be a tough decision.

I feel the same way (probably because my pull was so similar to yours)! The overall quality of the sketches with this series is outstanding.

It looks like one of Neil's and the "N" probably got cut off behind the hat.
Has anyone seen a John Z. sketch yet?

Yep, the Witchimacallit is mine. John didn't do sketches for this series, so I did about half ork and half Witchies, plus a few misc. "all stars" in the mix.

Really? How did you come up with that?
The next sketch I pull could be your favorite. Biting the hand that feeds your obsession is pretty stupid. Especially when you know the guy you're taking a shot at doesn't care about Topps rules or the Wacky Gestapo.
I've got a scenario for everyone. Brad orders 3 sets. His mom, knowing how much Brad loves the sketch cards because he talks her ear off about them, decides to buy him some sets for his birthday. Brad receives the sets. What does Brad do?
A. Return them to Topps and turn himself in to the authorities.
B. Keep them.
The first to answer correctly wins a free sets of series 4 postcards. I'll even sign the Scary Garcia card.

Brad has nobly turned old school stuff back in so others could get some, I think he would do A.

For the record I only got 3 sets. Total. My relatives have no idea about them nor does my wife. She could care less. She asked me what I was doing on the computer last Friday and I said some new Wacky stuff came out and all she said was "oh,OK".
That is the extent of my conversation about Wackys with my family other than my kids.

THIS SKETCH IS HILARIOUS!!!
i love it. Looking at this sketch I'm wondering if topps would ever gear towards the younger generation as customers for the halloween pc sets? Does anyone know what age group is the biggest wacky packages customer as a whole. Not vintage wackys or original art but all new series stuff, post cards, and erasers ect.

I don't know about the other stuff, but the postcards are definitely geared towards the older collectors. Afterall, when was the last time you saw a kid mail a postcard? Maybe we need to create a Wacky set based on text messaging - that would probably get their attention! ;)

I got (2) Toothies also
-
For the record I only got 3 sets. Total. My relatives have no idea about them nor does my wife. She could care less. She asked me what I was doing on the computer last Friday and I said some new Wacky stuff came out and all she said was "oh,OK".
That is the extent of my conversation about Wackys with my family other than my kids.
You should tell everyone so they buy them for you birthday (and I would win the signed 4th series cards)

Can you tell us what the answer is for the hypothetical question though? I'd like to award the prize and it wouldn't be fair for me to assume your answer.

It seemed like more of a rhetorical question to me. Of course if my mother were to buy me a set of Wackys I would keep them. I still have the check she sent me for my B-day but I still haven't cashed it. I also still have the Wacky calendar my sister bought me even though I had 4 others. It's not a very good question.
-
I don't know about the other stuff, but the postcards are definitely geared towards the older collectors. Afterall, when was the last time you saw a kid mail a postcard? Maybe we need to create a Wacky set based on text messaging - that would probably get their attention! ;)
I don't see how the postcards differ in appeal or design from the regular kid Wackys. The products spoofed are typical of ANS. There aren't any "adult" products being spoofed anymore. The gags aren't tailored for adults. So while it may be adults that mostly buy them I don't see how are they geared for adults. In fact I would LOVE to see Topps create a series that actually DOES appeal directly to adult sensibilities.

Maybe not. But thanks for playing along. The prize goes to lucidjc.

He should be pretty honored to have your autograph especially from a sketch by an artist that doesn't care for the sketch cards.

That would be an awsome sight to behold, but alas, its just the set, not the sketch. Dont get me wrong i'm smiling on the inside.

Bummer and here I was coming to your aid recalling when you were cool enough to make old school presale boxes available due to a shortage and you let me down here claiming you wouldn't turn back your superfluous legitimately gained Post Card sets :D

They're ok in the Old School series -- although I don't recall a condom Wacky. Man that could be hilarious. Did they do one in the X series?

That one on the right must be a secondary character on Cracker Drac?

THIS SKETCH IS HILARIOUS!!!
I actually pulled a Simko sketch that was a close up of just a tooth - and I was just as bummed as the guy on the right in the sketch! So I quickly sold it on ebay, not knowing there was a companion sketch that makes it totally hilarious. It would have been awesome to have both sketches, but I was too late to pick up the one shown here. Double-bummer!

He should be pretty honored to have your autograph especially from a sketch by an artist that doesn't care for the sketch cards.
Nobody's asking for your autograph.
Also, as usual, you're reading comprehension is for the birds. I didn't offer a sketch. And even if I did, why would anyone care that the artist doesn't care for sketch cards? Brad, sometimes I just want to pat you on the head and give you a cookie.
-
You did really well!
I was thinking the same thing!
-
Now on the topic of combos and their vague definition....would a toadlike creature emerging from the Bog count as a combo?

Lets just call a truce. I was a little heated over the stupid poll you ran. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.

That could be a grey area. Is there also a bog creature in the sketch?
-
Now on the topic of combos and their vague definition....would a toadlike creature emerging from the Bog count as a combo?
I would say yes but it would be good if you can post a pic. If it's a frog from Alltoads and the Bog creature than it should be a combo. There must be over 100 combos with this series! They are showing up everywhere.
-
Here are my other two sketches, a Camera Ork and a Kirscht AllToads:

It was a hypthetical question as I feel certain such a sketch will show up, I have seen toadlike creates on the sketches on ebay but they have fangs instead of teeth.

I'm still waiting to see a Brent E. combo with the two on his 2X postcard. It makes sense he would do some of those.

OK, finally got scanning, but "add image to post" kept giving me error messages, and the "additional options" wouldn't let me post my jpg image. Hopefully this pdf will work!
Here are some cool Halloween sketches, which I had with me yesterday. I love Neil's mixing of the titles, and Matthew Kirscht's Jack-o-Lanterns make an already beautiful card of a great Wacky title totally Halloweeny. And I was thrilled to get a Lynch, since I never managed one in PC7.

No, I think the one I saw was done by Neil, and it clearly had 3 of the main characters, including the Ork.

I've got a scenario for everyone. Brad orders 3 sets. His mom, knowing how much Brad loves the sketch cards because he talks her ear off about them, decides to buy him some sets for his birthday. Brad receives the sets. What does Brad do?
A. Return them to Topps and turn himself in to the authorities.
B. Keep them.
The first to answer correctly wins a free sets of series 4 postcards. I'll even sign the Scary Garcia card.
Too funny, LOL !!!

Here is my latest that I bought 2nd hand on ebay, this will probably be my keeper as I simply wanted an Ork with some form of true halloween element such as a bat, witch, pumpkin....my other thought was to go after a witchimcallit with a bog coming out of the cauldron as I really like the Bogs. If I am lucky enough to stumble across a Bog, Ork combo with some form of true halloween element such as bat, pumpkin, ghost, spider...then I would be all over that :-)

That is a beautiful sketch..one of the best ones I've seen so far - the ORK is AWESOME!!and any combo with him surely says "HAPPY HALLOWEDEENNNN" - Love the BAT...

Me too. I like that one Brad! I picked up the one on the far right, 3rd row down -- liked the dark background -- eerie...
Love that Pat went with a ton of variations on a theme here. Really neat.

So it was you who stomped me on the bog sketch. Congrats! that is a beauty. Very eerie backround, 50's B/W SciFi outer spacey.

Mine is row 4 column 2. But I also really like row 1 column 4 and row 2, column 3... He'll, I love 'em all.
-
Scoot, very cool! Great work. That's 25 total so far. We know Jay did 50 of his. Anyone have a sense of how many sketches per artist. We have 660 sketches and 6 artists. I suspect that Brent and Joe did at least 150 each based on how many are on the market but have no idea how many Neil and Zapata did.

The last one at the bottom reminds me of a monster from the classic Scooby Doo cartoons.

Agreed, love them all. I don't own one yet, this is going to be a hard set for me to just pick one keeper sketch, I think I am going to violate my rule!

Wow, that's some collection you got there! I'll give you $1,000.00 for the entire lot! LOL
Would you believe it's 2 days before Halloween and I am in the middle of a bad snowstorm! We already have a ton of downed branches and trees, and many roads are closed. The # of people without power is already at 500,000, and we are supposed to get 8-12" total. Crazy. I have a nice dogwood right in my front yard and literally half of it is on the ground broken. I don't think anything will be left of it by morning.

As a I was organizing screen captures from eBay to get all the Bogs together, I was thinking that Brent and Neil must have done, perhaps, more than an equal share of this series. Looks like Pat's sketches were limited to bogs and Joe Simko's to Toothsie Roll and Zapata to Human Heads but Brent seems to have sketches in most other titles, including Bogs. All the Crackers Dracs I have seen are Brent's as well as Hairi-Boos. Brent did some Hairy Mane, Orcs, and Alltoads as well. Busy guy. Neil appears to have done all Witchamacallits and a good portion of Orcs and all the cross- over titles I have seen.

I don't think I have seen one of Brent's bog or Lemonheads show up yet. Now that is really strange.

Brent's bog creatures have shown up previously. Here's the auction number for one: 170718184564. I'm pretty sure I've seen others too. But I don't remember seeing any of Brent's Lemonheads...

You and me both brother. We have a big tree in our backyard and all day long the heavy snow was snapping off one major limb after another. Its a friggin mess. Huge Limbs lying across the entire yard, other limbs up against the house. Another limb is tangled up in a power line causing it to hang down much lower than normal. I was finally able to report this to the electric comany after getting a busy signal all day.

Sorry to hear that. We had a stunning autumn out here in N Colorado and right as it peaked we were hit by a similar storm on Wed. Felt bad for the trees. I hadn't seen them change colors quite as stunning as this before.

Look at row 6 column 2 in all the bog sketches... That's an Engstrom. All his bog sketches I have seen are very similar to this one.
-
Thanks! I look forward to seeing your sketches!
Here are my 3 sketches...the middle looks like an ORK/BOG combo...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

I'm really surprised that Brent didn't do any combos of the Hairy Boo/Drac. It would have made sense since they were both on the postcard as a 2x.

I took a chance and bought an unopened Hallowen pack on ebay, and I got one of the nine 'happy' bog creatures by Engstrom. I will post a pic later on tonight if I can.

So it looks like Neil did a Baseball Wacky All*Stars sketch subset for the 2011 Halloween Postcards. I would almost guarantee Neil did more. Here are 4 I have run across. Anyone have others to round off the roster?

Here are my final Halloween postcards. I think I have one more coming in but I'll post that one separately. Since there were so many variables with the titles/artists in this series I chose to focus on only the sketch cards to which the artists did that were from their own art.

Thanks, I'm happy with them too. Actually most of them I had to acquire on the 2nd hand market. I did keep one of the Toothie's but the others were either bought or traded for. I like my Bog a lot better than the one I pulled.

Considering there are at least 650 halloween sketches, doesn't the number of sketches on ebay seem low? Supply and prices both seem to be down, seems very odd.

I would say it's similar to series 7 and since the quantity is higher I guess you could say we should expect to see a little more. Maybe the flippers weren't able to get as much as the past couple series, which results in more collectors keeping sketches instead of selling.

I honestly didn't think there were that many sketch collectors. This implies there are well over 100 sketch collectors.

I have done another painting on a Halloween Postcard 2011 return sketch card, which I have put on ebay for a 3 day auction. Here is the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260897496992

Jay posted another artist return sketch card on eBay...WOLFURELLA

(checkout the crater-wolf image on the moon in the background)
Gotta love the description....
This is the third and final black and white return sketch card I have done for the 2011 Wacky Packages Halloween Postcard series. It features the Lil' Werewolf Gal from the Hairy Mane Wacky Postcard. This character is also featured in WACKY PACKAGES Comics #1. In this original black and white painting, This beloved character tries her hand at COSPLAY, which is very popular with the kids today at comic conventions in the U.S. and abroad. The youngsters dress up as Superman, Vampirella, Harry Potter, and even Stan Lee. They seem to enjoy it. It may have started in Japan... Or it may have started with the furries... I don't know. These kids today with their crazy trends...I don't know. I just don't know. When I was a kid we didn't have CLOTHES, let alone Lara Croft costumes. But hey! What are you gonna do? It's a space-age a-go-go world we live in today. Used to be you'd have to go to The Century of Progress Expo to even SEE a microwave oven. Now we all have 'em in our homes. They used to call those things "Radar Ranges". I wonder howcome they changed the name of those things. Oh well.... It doesn't matter. What DOES matter though, is that this card is an extremely fancy gouache painting that I did with a tiny brush under a magnifying glass. I've been doing the gags on the printed trading cards for Topps for the last 40 years. I remember the Topps cafeteria back in the day. They even had one of those Radar Ranges in there. That was in the '60s. I remember in the 80s... Mark Newgarden used to order a tuna sandwich with a slice of Swiss Cheese on it. A little bit of trivia for you out there who collect Garbage Pail Kids. Sometimes ( this is when Topps was back in Brooklyn) Art Spiegelman and I would go out of the building and eat at Burger King. Once Len Brown and Rick Varesi and me went to this Italian place, which was really close to Topps. Len and Rick had baked ziti. I think I probably had something simpler, though. Spaghetti and meatballs, probably. It's funny. When old Topps employees get together, they usually can't remember much about the gum cards we did. But they DO remember the various meals they ate. Anyway...I just finished painting this card. So here it is for your bidding pleasure.
-
...and when Topps had their own cafeteria, another favorite food item there was pizza. Yeah, pizza. I don't recall what Bhob Stewart would eat for lunch. But I think this might make a great Abrams book. WACKY PACKAGES: What They Ate For Lunch.
I don't think any of those guys, including me, had the foresight to take polaroid pix of our food back then, though. So the book would have to consist of re-creations of the foods we ate in the form of paintings. I will suggest that to Abrams...once I hear from them if they accepted or rejected by book on early microwave ovens.
-
These kids today with their crazy trends...I don't know. I just don't know.
Speaking of crazy trends... Kids back in the 60's and 70's began collecting and trading these flimsy little pieces of sticky paper with painted images that spoofed grocery store products. Wacky-something or other... :D
-
Mainly I remember those crazy little stickers that they used to put on food products at the grocery store that told how much an item costs on 'em. Before they invented UPCs, which allowed them to easily raise the price of stuff every day.

Topps needs to finish their Wacky book series. The 3rd and final volume would have plenty of space left over that you could fill with these stories.

I couldn't resist not opening the sealed set I had set aside. I just opened it and pulled a sketch by Neil that glows in the dark! It says "glow in the dark" on it, but then Neil coated it and it actually does! I don't ever recall seeing this on any others before, do I have the only GID sketch?? I would take a picture, but it is proving near impossible.

I still have a sealed pack, makes me want to kill it but I have been saving a sealed pack from many of these non ans sets.

As I've said to you before, I am in awe of your self-restraint! Old School boxes and Postcard packs do not stay sealed very long around me........ :-\

LOL, I will try to dig out the unsealed packs that I have. I am pretty sure I have Post Card 6(whatever series it was that Toppsvault had extra packs at the philly show), 2011 Halloween, Olds 1 and Olds 2 sealed packs

I didn't tell anyone... But all of the Halloween 2011 sketch cards I did have imbedded Halloween sounds in 'em. To hear these sounds, you will need an old casette tape recorder. What you do is hold the mike over the card and record the inaudible vibrations coming from the card at FAST SPEED with the record volume on the tape recorder turned up ALL THE WAY. Then switch to slow speed, and play it back with the volume turned up all the way. Warning: The resultant sounds may be too frightening for some. So if you have any medical condition that might be affected by these intense frightening sounds, please only play back your tape in the presence of a physician or registered nurse. And feel free to post your audio recordings of this phenomenon.

I think you can also hear the Halloween sounds if you hole-punch a sketch card in the middle and play it on a phonograph. Kinda like the records you could cut out from the back of cereal boxes.

I wrap all my sketch cards in tin-foil, it helps with the voices. >:D

I read on the Internets that you can color the edges of each card with blue magic marker to increase the audio quality.

I think the Halloween sounds you hear are the screams of the owner of the sketch card.

Here is a new thing. The Giant sized color sketch card. A whole new concept in sketch cards. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260904072173&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123

I say, bring on the Wacky Wallpaper !! Even more cool, the kind that you have to stare into to find the 3D image. You can make Capn' Crud for the kitchen area, etc.... When a guest walks in to your house, they'll see you staring at the walls and think you're stoned.

That's pretty cool. I'm not a sketch card collector, but when I've seen the gatherings of sketches posted here, I'm often impressed. It's great how the artists have come up with fun themes and approaches to keep the sketches interesting.

Yes, that was the auction that I won-they were all still on their sealed shipping box.
Didn't know that Lynch did all of the book illustrations until I got the hairy mane book just yesterday!

Not mis-advertised at all. It's got to be almost a record for the lowest priced color sketch.
