I haven't gotten mine yet, but would like to see everyone's new Halloween sketch cards.
Noticed that there weren't many pictures of sketch cards from the last 2 releases on this
forum - ANS11 and binders 5-8 unless you checked out ebay,so thought this may spur
folks to post their pics!

I'm your Huckleberry,
Here's a sampling of the sketch cards I did
for the 2013 Wacky Packages Halloween Postcards Set.

Thank You,
I wanted to add I did a fun little thing with the black and white cards
such as killing sppprreee, hellraiseretes, it kat, butcherfingers and stitchers,
I added silver metallic sharpie to the blade edges, pin heads, bolts and eyes for a shiny effect.
these were so fun to work on! HAPPY HALLOWEEN to everyone! >:D

i Like the envelopes they come in but they sealed them so its hard to get them apart without ripping them - and i didnt get all 6 bio cards - at least when you order 3 you should get all 6 bio's - lets see what everyone got? i suspect its not like the last time and you weren't guaranteed to get all 6 by ordering 3 sets...sux-
got doubles on one sketch - so i will be selling it here - Dr. Deal your wish has come true!!!i will post sketches later
other than that - nice - gags are great art is awesome!!

Wow these sketches are fantastic. Why is it that I always wind up with one that is just a line drawing that looks like it took the artist 15 seconds to draw? Hoping to pull a cool one this time around...

A huge shout out to all the artists for the superb Halloween sketches! I was excited to get more postcards before, but now I'm on pins and needles. Or is that pumpkins and ghouls?

Hey Sketch Master, there's always room in the haunted house for you and Simko (and of course ALL of the Halloween artists)!
If there's still room, maybe we can squeeze in a few more Simko frankies...

I pulled one of the Frankenstein / Stitchers sketches, and the silver metallic sharpie details are a really nice touch. I brought that sketch and past wacky Halloween postcard sketches to work, and I've set up a little Halloween display on my desk. It get lots of attention and I enjoy it all day long. Many thanks for bringing some delightful creepiness to the week!

the paintings all the guys did are top notch!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here are my sketch pulls. A Marrow Cup (Simko) and two Spppprreee (Engstrom and Zapata). If anyone else pulled two of the same title and is interested in a trade, please let me know.

Did you get a full set of BIO cards? I didn't... >:D >:D

The dubs are Pingitore Marrow Cup sketches. I didn't get all the bio cards either, but that doesn't bug me too much because of the trading possibilities with my forum friends.
May regret this, but I went and ordered some more LE sets. Hopefully I'll get a better mix next time.

All four are nice. The Zapata one is obviously a glow-in-the-dark which is nice since it is the first one I have. The eyes have texture as well. I don't know if he put boogers over the eyes, glue or what but it gives it great texture and appeal.

Mine are supposed to come today. Hoping for a good variety, and am debating buying more if I too am cursed again (I recall both you and I had this happen with PC9! In fact, that put me off the non-Halloween PC's!)
I REALLY wish Topps would collate a bit better with the LE sets. With 666 sets they could actually separate into piles of different artists AND do the bio cards 1-2-3 so if you bought three sets - for $150+ - you would be guaranteed to get the three bio sets automatically, and three different artists. Once the amount got down low enough these "guarantees" would vanish - and again, they don't have to say anything, just make it a behind-the-scenes practice. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me... The possibility of getting multiple "commons" like this for $150+ has spooked me off of non-Halloween postcards completely. We shall see what happens with my pulls later today (fingers crossed!).
I do enjoy trading but have missed out on filling sets in the past simply due to geography - East Coasters get their sets first and trade first. Kind of like national elections. A tad lame. Knowing you would fill bio sets with buying three sets also seems like an incentive to me. If they did the "three different artists if possible" on top of that, then I would be more likely to buy three additional sets after the limit was raised.
-
Sorry for the double-post - mine arrived right after that last post! :P
Pulled a Simko, Smokin' Joe, and Gambino. All look better in person than my quick photo:
(http://orderofhpak.com/Wackys/2013_1030_PorkiesWackys_2013_HalloweenPC.jpg)
I'm not attached to any of these if someone is wanting to purchase. Please make me an offer via PM if interested.
I will say I am not impressed with Topps' packaging. Spent $200+ and didn't even come in a box! Was in a manilla envelope (not even padded), no foam envelopes wrapping any of the postcard sets (the RE set was just loose in the envelop and guess what: the corners are dinged - nice! Would cost more to ask for replacements than to buy another set...). The Comics had no hard back on them and were not dinged - amazingly. I smell bean-counters!

[/quote]AGREED..... even if people ordered just 1 LE set, ship it in a postcard box those boxes are perfect for resell. It's time for wacky packages to go on a vacation for awhile probably a good idea,temporarily.
-
I only bought the initial 3 sets. I don't want to risk it. I will buy the sketches I like off ebay.The sketch market is pretty low right now so you can't flip them for big bucks like we used to.

I got the envelope as well as others. The posters were in a large sleeve with cardboard backing but the package was bent. Even the cardboard insert was bent. The posters use a thick paper back and all had a wave in the same spot. I think they will flatten in my poster binder (album) :]

Thanks! It's all about the love of the brand. :love4: You can quote me on that!

Those sketches are indeed incredibly great!
p.s. I tried not to say "awesome" :D

Considering the word “awesome” means, “inspiring an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, or fear”, people do use it waaay too much, including myself. Just how many things in life really create an overwhelming feeling of reverence? I should probably use the word once every couple of years.
I think “awesome” skyrocketed in popularity in conjunction with the word “dude” a few decades ago.

I'm not surprised these didn't sell out. There are still over 200 sets.
Here is my analysis if it actually holds any water.. HaHa
The sketch market is down big time compared to a year ago, yes there are some players that have left the sketch hobby. This shouldn't change things too much because the bidding is still there although not to the level of a few sketch collectors of the past.
Anyway, that's not really the issue. We got really used to the artists and know what we like. Topps added a few new artists and it changed the dynamics. I know there needs to be some new blood but it's hurting the sketches rather than helping. Its a crazy conundrum. I like some of the new artists but not all are created equal. Even the artists we love compromises on some series. I, myself, want them all to be amazing but from what I've learned is these guys have a ton of stuff to do. It really comes down to Topps. I know they are a business but they might be stretching things too thin and the sketches we love are suffering.
I don't know what these guys get paid for sketches but it has to be better for a better product by Topps. The sketch is the only reason we would buy multiple PC sets. If the quality control is down so are sales.
-
200 sets? Was Topps lying with their email (a few days ago) stating 75 sets remain?

That was for the Halloween posters, not the Limited Edition postcard sets.

So, Topps finally got me my second order, and I'm much happier with these, some different artists and titles, although I still seem to be getting multiples of the same titles. The Gambino It Kat Scratch card cracks me up! And the color Smokin' Joe It Kat looks fantastic in person.

I have a suggestion for the next round of Halloween postcards: Since many of us buy three sets to get a full set of bio cards and a group of sketches, how about Topps offering a "mega-set" for the postcards that includes the following:
1 set of ltd. signed postcards
1 set of 6 bio cards
1 set of bonus cards (including the one put in the regular edition postcard set)
1 set of 3 sketches that are sorted so that there are no duplicates in terms of the character shown.
I personally would love to have this option, so I don't have to trade around to get the bio card set and don't end up with a duplicate sketch I have to sell on ebay (assuming it's worth enough to bother selling on ebay). Topps could still sell the individual postcard sets, but they could have maybe 50 or so of these mega-sets as well. Now that they're creating larger quantities, there's enough sketches to do both.

I would defintely be in favor of such a "mega" or "master set" option for the Postcard sets. On the Halloween Postcard sets, I like to try to get one sketch of each of the new titles. So I would even go a step further and suggest one sketch card for each new title from a random assortment from the various artists involved. I like to trade as much as the next person, but for the small sized Postcard sets, its kinda a nuasance to trade for the bio cards. An people simply aren't trading sketch cards. I can't speak for others but I would be willing to pay a premium price for such a "master set", say in the $300 ball park.

YES! great idea.
This was the worst year yet for issues with this set and i'm not buying them from Topps anymore otherwise.
My order was a mess and Topps took a week to sort it out.

I keep hoping that some of the Camera ones I like will show up on Ebay so at least I'd have a chance of owning them -
they have just the right amount of spookiness and 1930s Fleischer cartoon look about them!

Did I mention, I love 1930's Fleischer cartoons! Almost as much as MGM T&J cartoons, which are better than Van Beuren's and early Lantz cartoons, but not quite as good as some post-war Paramount titles. Now see what you did?! I've gone completely off-topic...

I'm familiar with most of those! You like the post-war Paramount titles? Like Little Audrey and Casper? Or are you referring to Little Lulu (can't recall if shes postwar) or others? Hanna Barbera(sp) T&Js were magnificently animated IMO, but to me, 30s Flesichers were the most interestingly animated, esp precode Koko and Betty Boop. The jazz cameos by Cab Calloway were 'awesome'...and your eerie ghost and skull sketches for this series remind me of those cartoons...A

The black & white Popeye cartoons still crack me up! Just thinking about them puts the "flying trapeze" music in my head.

The b&w Popeye's are classic - I recall Olive Oyl's voice being done by the same woman who did Betty Boop, but I could be mistaken. Among my favorites are the three "mini-movie" color specials: Sindbad the Sailor, Ali Baba & the forty thieves, and Aladdin's Lamp. They did some cool 3-D effects in one or more of those. I remember finding bargain bin VHS tapes of these back in the day - have been thinking about finding them on DVD via Netflix one of these days.
Also I recall (and this was a long time ago now) that in the actual comics Olive had a brother named Castor - reminded me of the fourth and fifth Marx Brothers for some reason.

Yes, I remember the trapeeze cartoon too (Rawgoo) and the gay 90s style drawing of the flying artist. Mae Questal(sp) was the voice and she must have voiced dozens of characters as I recall her distinctive sound all through my childhood!
The vintage color popeyes were like little movies in themselves - I've always wanted to see one on the big screen to catch all the details. Magnificently animated too. And the rest of the old b/w popeyes had alot of the characters from the Thimble Theatre comic strip like sweepea, the jeep and Pappy as well as Wimpy and Brutus/Bluto (missing was HamNEgg and Castor). Bluto always bothered me as a kid though, esp in the later colors, as he seemed like a rapist! Having a younger sister, I was hoping that she wasn't bothered like Olive was by a goon like Brutus...

It would be a lot of fun. The Betty Boop stuff is all hand painted. A lot of time was spent on this.

After weeks of term papers, projects and finals, I was finally able to sit down and open my Halloween stuff. It was all shipped in a brown box and just thrown inside. Glad I didn't order anything that could have gotten smashed really bad. Anyway, for years I have wished in vain to pull a Smokin' Joe sketch. What I pull is what I pull and I have been happy with that. I finally got my Smokin' Joe sketch and I love it. Here it is:
