Title: COMING SOON - TOPPS WACKY POSTCARD BINDERS!!!
Post by: koduck on March 11, 2010, 12:40:05 PM
UPDATE: ALL 3 WACKY BINDERS ARE LIVE AS OF 4/22/10!!!

The Topps Vault has graciously allowed me to give you a sneak peak at a new Wacky Postcard binder coming Mid-April!!! It's going to be a super high quality vinyl binder and should be able to hold all of the postcards, with room for some new ones, as well. Plus, there's going to be a super secret cool suprise inside (hint: it's not a postcard)!!! Should be a boon for all you wacky postcard fanatics!

Here's a picture of the postcard binder front:

Here's a picture of the binder front:

Congrat's! That thing will be cool. Do you know how many pockets it has? Just curious because I have purchased (or tried to purchase) enough postcards to get the set of sketches. So through the first 3 series it would be 3 postcard sets for each series. Series 4 changed that a bit and I now have about 6 postcard sets with sketches. You say there is plenty of room, just curious how roomy it is.

The current plan is a 1" binder with extra pages. So, there should be room for many series to come!

That's great news, Neil!  I was just emailing Dave G this morning saying how I was looking forward to the OLDS binder.  I'm tired (and confused) by all my generic binders and look forward to an attractive and easily identified binder for my various wacky goodies.

A little bigger might be better, unless they're planning on subsequent binders to hold what I hope are many more sets of postcards!  But, most important, PLEASE ask them to use D-rings!!

The OLDS binder is D-Ring so the Postcards should be as well. I think all the new Topps binders are or will be D-Ring

I doubt they'll be doing a pre-sale, since they should be released very soon. Got my fingers crossed!
Title: Re: COMING SOON - TOPPS WACKY POSTCARD BINDERS!!!
Post by: slamjim on March 29, 2010, 08:26:26 AM
From what I understand the profit margin on these things for them is very tiny so there will be no pre-sale. The discount is already built into the price. 

All the binders are being printed this week. I've never dealt with binders so I don't know how long it takes to print them, ship them pack them, etc. They are being printed along with lots of other new Topps binders for other products so the orders will all be shipped back to Topps together.
Maybe available in a few weeks?

From what I can see there is a "stamp sheet" with the postcard binder and a "commemorative wrapper" with the Old School binder, and nada for the ANS binder. I wonder what the stamp sheet is?

My first reaction when I saw these binders was the same as yours.......no bonus stickers? Everything should come with bonus stickers. No free shipping? I am going to wait a day or two before ordering any of them, I just added all the of them to my shopping cart and the estimated shipping is $15.75 which seems high to me. The stamp sheet and the commemorative wrapper might be something cool.
Title: Re: COMING SOON - TOPPS WACKY POSTCARD BINDERS!!!
Post by: slamjim on April 22, 2010, 03:33:40 PM
The wrapper is a real wax wrapper. The type that I would have liked to have had as the real wrappers. So this sort of completes the OLDS1 set. It's styled after the original series wrappers and some are even slightly off-register on purpose. I made one into a wax pack to show you how that would look.

I didn't want a bonus sticker for a few reasons. One, I was avoiding any chase stickers apart from the boxes. Two, the binders are limited to 500 so inevitably some people would not be able to complete an OLDS sticker set which would suck. Three, they would have been cards not stickers as the limited runs on these unlike bonus boxes for Target and Wal-Mart makes making them into stickers too costly. I'm not into any of these becoming anything other than stickers. Well, hope people like them. The binders are super sweet and I have a bunch of the wrappers and they look and feel fantastic.

I have not seen the stamps but they also sound really great.

Also, here is the binder front, side and back. I saw someone on the other forum (I believe it was Brian) say they looked cheap. From what I hear they are very high quality. Those photos on the site are mock-ups probably done in Photoshop.

Two, the binders are limited to 500 so inevitably some people would not be able to complete an OLDS sticker set which would suck. Three, they would have been cards not stickers as the limited runs on these unlike bonus boxes for Target and Wal-Mart makes making them into stickers too costly. I'm not into any of these becoming anything other than stickers. Well, hope people like them. The binders are super sweet and I have a bunch of the wrappers and they look and feel fantastic.

I have not seen the stamps but they also sound really great.

My first reaction when I saw these binders was the same as yours.......no bonus stickers? Everything should come with bonus stickers. No free shipping? I am going to wait a day or two before ordering any of them, I just added all the of them to my shopping cart and the estimated shipping is $15.75 which seems high to me. The stamp sheet and the commemorative wrapper might be something cool.
That is high, I ordered all (3) and the total shipping was $10.25 that's a little more than a 50% difference! :o Where do you live? I'm from the "Cincinnati" (Ohio) area. All my WACKY best...RonZ 8)

The wrapper is a real wax wrapper. The type that I would have liked to have had as the real wrappers. So this sort of completes the OLDS1 set. It's styled after the original series wrappers and some are even slightly off-register on purpose. I made one into a wax pack to show you how that would look.

Hi Dave, will the wrappers we get be flat and unfolded like that?  I noticed you used the same wrapper code (WPOS-01-9).

I just ordered the Postcard binder, the Old School Binder and the All New Series binder. My postage ended up being $11.38. Not too bad for 3 binders. I am really loking forward to the OS wax wrapper. I was thinking all along the the OS series would have wax wrappers. I was really disappointed when I opened that first box and saw  the wrappers. I was even more disappointed when I was opening them. Oh well. This will be cool add-on piece. I did notice on the Topps invoice that the ANS binder was listed as ANS1. Does this mean that Topps is going to be putting out binders for all the past series?

Has anyone recieved their new Wacky Binders yet?

Hate to sound like a party pooper here but,

 I was wondering if I should order them or not since I have already made my own binders for all the previous series and their pretty nice. I would only sacrifice them if the Topps versions are made very well. Not like those Red and Yellow Wacky Package Collectors Albums (remember those) that were put out for ANS 1 and ANS 4 (although the color was an ANS 2 yellow). Those were made very flimsy and not nearly as good as the album binders I created myself. Personally I am not too concerned with the extra's, stamp sheet and wax pack wrapper. In many cases my binders were made well before many of these previous series even came out.

Here's the cart - and I know it's been awhile but, oh yeah, we gotta nice horse to pull it too.

Just want to know how good is that horse before I fork out da dough.....

They shouldn't have labeled the Old School binder as series 1. How many collectors are going to put each little series into it's own big binder? You could probably fit about 7 Old School series in that thing.

I like the wrapper look of the postcard binder.

I received the Old School and Postcard binders tonight. Very cool Puffy Binders. Much puffier than any other binders I own. They almost feel inflated. Very soft and puffy vinyl feel to them. The stamp sheet is quite nice and I think the numbers were to give them a "stamp feel"  ie: numbers instead of 8 Cents etc.  The wax pack
completes the Old School set. Great job on these. Makes me want to buy one of the 2010 series Binders also.

I just ordered the Old School and All New Series Binders and cost me $13.80 for shipping here to the Kansas City MO. area. I played around with the shipping and they wanted about $12 just to ship just one binder so you take the biggest hit for shipping on the first binder and then after that the shipping is hardly nothing.

Not surprising though since this is almost true with any thing ordered.

I just got all three of the binders and they are outstanding. The quality is top notch. Judging these by the original pics the store had up is a waste of time. These are really nice. I think they need a few more 8x10 pages in the OLDS binder other than the one for the wrapper as I could not fit the red envelope from the boxes into the 5x7 sleeves plus I wanted to put the flyers and coupons into the binder as well. Ah well, I'll pick some up at the Philly Show if some dealer has them. The back of the postcard binder is very funny.

I didn't order any because the Topps-store description and pics was so lame.  If they are available at the show, I may pick them up, saves shipping too.  Seems kind of unscientific on how Topps is taking counts on what products to bring to the show.  Seems they are likely going to run out of product!

They are bringing a certain amount of each item to the show and with knowing how many things some people here may want they will bring that much more.

 Does anyone know if there will be binders for any of the other ANS? The one I got today read WPOS-ANS1 on the invoice. It certainly looks like it was designed for one specific series. Just wondering.

I got mine today too………better than I was expecting for sure.  I had no intention of actually using the binders but these have me reconsidering.

My assumption was that the "all new" binder was intended for ANS7, but they might have had any of the ANS series in mind.  I currently have all of my ANS series in one binder but it's maxed out, like 3.5" thick, so the new series will create an issue for me.

I may just put the new binder on the shelf for now and use it for the ANS 2010 at the end of the summer. I also have a large binder in play for both OLDS series, but will be changing over and using the new OLDS binder for series 1. It's too cool not to use it. I assume that Topps will be putting out a OLDS 2 binder at the end of the year. If Topps decides to put out more binders, I am sure I will be rethinking how I have my Wackys stored.

They could have done bonus cards but a bonus sticker would have cost too much for such a limited item. I don't think anyone would have wanted these to have any additional cost.

I nixed the OLDS bonus sticker idea in favor of the wrapper as I didn't want the OLDS base set to have a sticker that was limited to 500 which would have meant many collectors never owning it. Wrappers, uncut sheets, binders, posters, etc are the types of items people are more selective to own so the lesser number works for them. That, and the wax wrapper is da bomz, boy!

I like the stamps. It's great that they came up with yet another way of presenting Wacky Pack stuff. And it's printed on sticky paper to boot. There's plenty of room for stickers and stamps and hologram idiots and whatever. By the end of this year we're going to have heaps of new Wacky Pack stickers, Old School and New School. Also postcards, LTL prints and whatever new surprises await us.

Do you think this calls for a return becuase I would also have to pay shipping to & from Topps, if so that in itself is costly. I'm leaning to just accept the imperfection as is, what would you do?

I got the Postcard and Old School Binders and they are really cool. They seem to be larger than the standard size, buy it is just the puffyness of it that makes it seem that way. Anyway the sturdyness of the front and back covers is what I was concerned with by looking at the initial pic.s on the Topps site (which are different now) but I am very happy with these.

I think the postcard binder is the coolest binder I own. It absolutely makes the postcard series and the stamps are just the right bonus item. With 500 made I wonder if it will sell out? Time will tell. Glad I got one. Looking forward to putting future postcard releases in the binder. The Philly Show Promo Postcard proudly sits in the first page at present.

I think that 9 to Life cat did it !  ;D

I got the Postcard and Old School Binders and they are really cool. They seem to be larger than the standard size, buy it is just the puffyness of it that makes it seem that way. Anyway the sturdyness of the front and back covers is what I was concerned with by looking at the initial pic.s on the Topps site (which are different now) but I am very happy with these.
The binders appear to have been very well made, with good slanted D-ring construction, and I like them, thinking I'll put one set away and use one.  I would have preferred non-puffy binders, like Rittenhouse produces, as I have had problems with the puffy types getting permanent 'dents' in the past, but we'll see.

For some reason everytime I read the discriptions as "puffy" it sort of makes me giggle. I describe it the same way too. The 2 do not seem to go hand in hand, an organizing binder and puffy. Maybe I'm thinkin' of Seinfeld's puffy pirate shirt too. No puffy dents please. ^-^

That line has be laughing! That's some classic old school jargon! Nobody will have a clue what that sentence means in 30 years.
I wonder if these things are still around.

Just want to clarify that the binders are NOT limited production. The lowest they could order was 400 or so. If they sell out they can always make more. Sorry for the confusion.

Great news Dave!  I saw them online several days ago, and almost ordered immediately, but thought to myself, "self, see what's being said on the forum; maybe there will be a cool promo discount code".  So I finally made it to the thread, and after reading all the way through, could not wait to go to topps online and order my three.  Holding my breath to see a post that said "they're all gone!".  Thanks for posting the last one I read and the most important one.  Off to topps online.....

Are the stamps and wax wrappers limited to a single run?

Wow, I remember those folders!  I had lots of them, think the teachers even gave them out.  Thanks for the flashback!

Dave, are you referring to all 3 binders of just the Old School's?  I like to try to keep accurate info.

You are actually using the stamps from the sheet?  I guess that's what they are made for but they are limited to only 250 so I'm keeping mine intact! 

I did not realize these were limited to 250!?!

That was what Dave originally posted but since then he said it may be more like 500 so we're not certain yet.

Dave said they could print more but I have a hunch that once these are gone they will be gone for good. I don't think they will sell out too quickly because of the price and cost of shipping. They are nice though.

Did you get the Olds1 version or the Post Card version? How do you like the binder?
