Title: Wacky Halloween 2020
Post by: koduck on August 23, 2020, 10:31:41 AM
This has already been mentioned in another post, but thought I'd make it official: I'm going to put my Halloween set on hiatus this year, due to upcoming projects with Topps. The good news is that there's plenty of treats in store for the 2020 holiday! More about that soon...

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled,
Neil

Neil,

   Thanks for all you have done in the past to keep Wacky Halloween alive. It sounds like Topps will do something this year so that is great news.

Wasn't there some talk about a special Topps Halloween set this year?  Not sure if this was going to be a weekly set or new Postcard set or something totally different.  Any details would be great.  Halloween is only 2 weeks away!

IIRC, Neil said he was making another Halloween set in 2021, being that he's busy with some projects for this year and all.

Why is there no talk about this set here?

Are there no sketches with this set?

At least IMO the inclusion (in this case omission) of sketches doesn't determine the worthiness of purchasing a set of postcards. Have we quickly forgot how the sketches have evolved from the first set up until the most recent sets?
Title: Re: Wacky Halloween 2020
Post by: DrDeal on October 27, 2020, 12:10:02 PM
Thanks Ernie!! I almost missed this release. What are people ordering? I purchased three sets hoping for three different glow in the dark cards and three different Bio cards.  Neil,  Please advocate for them to take care of those who order three sets.

Thanks,  Andrew

This release looks to not be selling too well; based on the lack of discussion here. I suspect the lack of sketches will cause it to end up as a very low production set. I hope some others have bought in so we can trade to complete the different elements of this set.

I think it could be the way it's being sold, coupled with the fact that we're getting new sets every week, so most collectors wallets are running low.  The die hard collectors probably purchased a set (or three in hopes of getting everything).  The dealers have probably not purchased too heavily due to lagging sales of the weekly series in the secondary market.

Hi Andrew, honestly, I wouldnt use this discussion thread as a yardstick for sales. In fact, i believe theyre doing quite well. As a matter of fact,  ive seen a lot more discussion outside this forum than usual (maybe an indication that there's more options available to wacky fans these days). And yes, i agree that sketch cards would've been a nice feature, but I'm sure everyone will be pleased with the current contents. Sketch cards will come into play again in the future, but in the meantime, I think you'll find the 2020 release super fun, well-done and very collectible .

Neil,

 Thanks for the reply. Can you please ask Topps to collate these sets so that if you order three sets you will get one of each of the three Bios , masks and Glow In The Dark cards? Since each pack has the set has 3 base postcards and then 1 of three available Bios, Masks and GITD Postcards; I would think it would be easy to have three different groupings to mail out and give a three set buyer the complete run.

Andrew

I'll certainly pass your request along Andrew, although I would guess that at least some of the collation is random. But let's see how things look once everyone gets their sets and if necessary, we can start a trading thread. Sound good?

Well, there was only 43 minutes left in the 7 day offering period, so I think everyone had a more than fair chance to order these over the week.  And it's good that Topps didn't get stuck with a lot of leftovers, as I expect that the GID postcards, and maybe the masks, were a little more expensive to produce.

Ummmm.....NO.   It wasn't fair.   I asked Neil in a private email about 2020 Halloween wackys.   Didn't hear nothing.   So naturally I assumed that there would not be any 2020 release.   So now I log on and find out I'm too late?   People don't have time to log in every freakin day give them a chance.   Most disgusted.

PM sent.

I'm sorry you didn't know about this.  Part of my reference to "fair" was that the offering was up for pretty much the whole 7 days, minus just 43 minutes, as opposed to the Attacky Packages 4 set last month, which sold out in just 3 days.  There was also the GPK Krashers set in August that sold out in under 2 hours, even before the daily Topps email went out.  That time, if you took a lunch break from the internet you missed out.

Anyway, I bought some extra postcard sets in case anyone here missed the 7 day window.  Anyone who missed out, shoot me a PM and I'll do my best to help.

you are welcome to feel that the postcard thread highlights the Halloween release as that is how I take your snarky response but several thanked me for reviving this thread and we can see people missed the Halloween set so exactly what is the point of your snarky response?

David, I'm sorry to hear you missed the set, but like you, I don't have time to log in to the forum every day.  To clarify about the 2020 Halloween release, when you wrote to me, I didn't have any idea if we would be doing the Topps set or not, so please don't think I was trying to keep any news from you. Again, I'm sorry if you missed it, but I'm happy to hear that other folks on the forum can help you out with sets. At least, this story has a happy ending.

All good David! You've been such a great support over the years and i know how much the Halloween set means to you! I'm hoping next year we can launch a bit earlier so everyone gets the word. I think in the past, we'd start advertising in August, which seemed pretty early at the time, but in retrospect, worked out really well. This year's been a little unusual, as im sure everyone will agree.

I absolutely LOVE the Halloween sets ever since the 3 titles from 2009 all the way to the 2013 sets.   I was so bummed when 2014 did not come with a Halloween postcard set.    :'(     Thinking back on it, it played a part in my recent hiatus from the hobby:   ANS11 and the Chrome stickers were my last hurrah.   'Course I missed out on the 2019 Halloween comeback and I would have hated to miss out on 2020.

Only two non-Topps series were made by Neil alone: 2015 Halloween Pack O' Fun and 2016 Halloween Pack O' Fun. A third non-Topps series, 2017 Halloween Pack O' Fun, was planned (and presumedly finished), but Topps heard of it and told Neil not to release it. To this day, it remains unreleased, no one besides Neil knows what's in it...and he can't tell anyone what's in it, either.

Since then, there's been a new third non-Topps series, Halloween 2019, and a fourth one, Halloween 2021, is being planned even as we speak.

Can you elaborate on this please?
It's the first in a series of Halloween cards Neil did. Here's the contents:
*Bat-O-Honey (Bit-O-Honey)
*Frying Pan Demonhead (Ferrara Pan Lemonhead)
*High Seas Kraken (Hershey's Krackel)
*Skorch (Skor)
*Snake Charmers (Assorted Charms Hard Candy)
*Mummy Way - Tut Size (Milky Way - Fun Size)
*bonus card: Lost Cabin Eeriginal Syrup (Log Cabin Original Syrup).

A second bonus card was planned but pulled due to printing issues. I hope we'll get it in Halloween 2021. Oh, Neil?

Sketch cards also came with it, too.

You really can't see it in the photos, but the orange bordered cards also have a metallic, glittery kind of sheen to the entire card.

Just the base cards.  They are very pretty with the glittery sheen Baked Bears mentioned.

May be a dumb question as this is the first Halloween set I have gotten my hands on directly from Topps, but I seem to have gotten 2 small artist cards? Are those the bio ones? I thought it was only one per set.

You got lucky!  There was supposed to be just one bio card per set.  Were they the same?

Yes, Bloodweiser Ontap, you got lucky.  Unfortunately, someone else probably didn't get one.

I got mine today.  I bought 6 envelopes and got at least one of each card, including the orange borders.  I got some extras of some of the cards, but no extras of others.  So, not perfect collation, but better than I've been getting with the weekly series.

Thanks Neil, and I overreacted a bit, which I apologize for.

I missed out too, man, as I haven't been able to log in for a while either.  So, you've got company in the boat.  Looks like it was a good one, too.  Really like the 'masks'.  Great idea, Neil.  Back in the days when we flew from all over the country to attend Parsippany, Philly, and Chicago shows & reunions... I always thought a Halloween Party with everyone dressed as Wacky Pack characters would be fun.  Thinking about some of the characters, a lot of the old-timers on here wouldn't even need masks.  (hah!)  But I won't name names.

Any observations on the insert ratio of the orange background postcards?  Is 1 out of 6 a fair guestimate?

I think so. I got  7 packs (one shipment of 4 the another of 3) which  netted one orange set.

an orange set. Time will tell. I wonder if they sent any one pack orders

Can someone please post a picture of an orange boarder card. Not sure if I understand what these are.

One question: did Wacky Halloween Postcards 2020 do well; i.e., well enough to spawn another series later and when compared to the original five Wacky Halloween Postcards series from 2009-2013?

They sold out shortly before the 1 week sales window closed, so I would think that Topps was satisfied.  But, the limited versions of the earlier Halloween postcard sets also used to sell out, and they still hit the pause button on them until last year.

The best Halloween item Topps has produced is the Binder IMO. The artwork on it rules.

That binder is truly wonderful.  I wish I had bought more of them, as it seems a lot of people missed out.

That's good, I think. Since Neil's bringing out Halloween 2021 (the last I heard), maybe there'll be another postcard series next year. If so, I'll have to be ready for it.

How much was Topps selling a pack of this series for, including shipping and handling?

I mentioned this before somewhere; on eBay someone was offering all three Postcards binders (the red Postcards one, the yellow Postcards one and the orange Halloween Postcards one) each for $199.95 plus $14.95 shipping.

The orange Halloween Postcards binder is gone, so I presume it's been bought. The other two, however, have not been bought - yet.
Title: Re: Wacky Halloween 2020

Those binders have settled on about $100, so those prices are ridiculous.

No idea why Topps doesn't print more binders, people really like them!

It is ridiculous; anyone can see that.

Whoever got the Halloween Postcards binder, I hope he enjoys it and he has plastic pages to put the postcards in it, as I think when it was originally made, this binder may have had no such pages (please correct me if I'm wrong, though).

And you're right, people do like the 3-ring binders and yet Topps only made them for ANS7-ANS11 and OLDS 1-OLDS 5, plus the special ones for the 1st-16th Series and a non-existing 17th Series.
Title: Re: Wacky Halloween 2020
Post by: mikecho on November 18, 2021, 01:19:29 PM
I've got a great idea for one more Halloween Postcards series and that should do it.

Since Ghostess Fright Pie. Bricks Man-Made Brick and Mortar Caramels and Bots, which were all done as two separate three-in-one postcards with all-black backgrounds, finally became postcards with normal white backgrands and normal black borders in 2020 (even if they were just a glow-in-the-dark subset (which should've been numbered G1, G2 and G3, not 1G, 2G and 3G...but I digress)), how about doing the same thing to these six Halloween Wackys that were all done as two-in-one postcards with all-black backgrounds (just not with the glow-in-the-dark feature this time around):

*Starbeast,
*Tootsie Troll,
*Hairi-Boo Ghost-Bears,
*Cracker Drac,
*Strike,
*SlayDay.

There wouldn't even have to be any Wacky Halloween Artists cards this time, because five of the six listed here have already been done as such (the exception is Hairi-Boo Ghost-Bears). Is this a great idea, or what? With these Wackys out of the way, everything that's possible and everything that already exists will be finished.

Btw, you'll notice I didn't put Killing Sppprreee or Hellraiserettes in the above list. That's because they've also already been done, the first one as a bonus card and the second one as a postcard, both in the regular/Tricky Treat editions of Wacky Halloween Postcards 2013.

Oh, Neil, are you out there and are you reading this? Opportunity's practically beating down your door here!
