Hi Everybody! Off the Market Series 3 is ready for preorders!
Thank you for your interest in these sets. They've been fun to make! They contain mostly concepts that Topps decided not to use.
Set includes:
33 base set
11 bonus cards
1 Hand-numbered title card
4-piece puzzle
9-piece puzzle
2 Checklists
3 Color variant sketch cards - watercolor/ink sketches
(I made the set so it will fill out 7 of the 9-card pocket pages.)
$45 shipped, no sketch card
$55 shipped, includes one sketch card
$70 shipped, includes all 3 sketch card variants
You can preorder and PayPal to MarkParisi@aol.com right now if you like. Be sure your address is included. Thanks again!

Cool! Order placed!
-
Great news! Thanks, Mark!
-
Just ordered! Thanks Mark, can’t wait to receive the set!
-
Count me in! As so as I get the money, I'll send it to you.
-
Cool...That was quicker than I thought! When is the target ETA on shipping out?
-
Great news!
-
It's a little early to know. There's still some printing to be done, collating, sketching, mailing. Combine that with my laziness and let's say 2024!
How about if I say a month or two?

That sounds just fine to me! Looking forward to adding to my binder :D

Hi Frank,
I have only a couple Series One left, and plenty of Series Two.
Let me know.

Will the Off the Mark strip do more Wacky Packages entries in the 2021 months to come?
-
Maybe. Probably. I might have to dig around.

I’m definitely interested in one Marc to add to my collection!

Great! The order info is earlier in the thread, if you haven't already.

You collect Marcs?

Now I'm afraid.

Now I'm afraid.
Me too. Very afraid. After being collected, I'm afraid I'll be auctioned off on ebay and the ending price will be embarrasingly low. But I can live with that.

Not sure yet. Details are a bit sketchy at the moment.

Of course, condition is paramount. Would you consider yourself mint? How centered are you? Any writing on the back? Fading?

I have some wear so maybe I could be rated very good to excellent.

Technically, I'm a Mark with a K so I think I'm safe. And I refuse to send scans of my dings.

Mark, you are lucky. They tried to put me in a large PSA holder the other day and I refused. I'd prefer to wait until I'm deceased before I'm slabbed.

Oooh, what a pretty picture! Wish I lived close enough to help sort (you definitely wouldn't want me sketching!)
-
I can't tell you how much I wish you could help me sort, too!

I find the set building itself relaxing. Setting aside the time is the hard part.
-
It's over 6,500 cards. Definitely making fewer sets next time!

mine too! fantastic!

I also received mine today. I haven't had the chance to read through and enjoy the entire set yet, but I did browse through it, and it looks like another great set, Mark! I did look at the cartoon-y bonus cards and found them very clever, producing smiles and chuckles.
-
Got mine yesterday, too, and what a treat! I laughed out loud at some of them. Thanks again Mark!!
-
Thanks, Pat! Sorry I didn't send any personal notes with the set. I was trying to churn them out!

Thanks! I expanded that part of the set and hoped it would go over well. I want to continue that with the 4th set.

It just arrived now! Excellent series and love what you did with the bonus cards! I definitely wasn't expecting that!
The puzzles were great, too! Again, a completely unexpected twist! Can't wait for Series Four!
-
Especially like Mr. Pepper, Fibber One, and Tried!
-
Now I know why I've been so tired lately. I've been drinking Blue Sloth.
Great set! Keep up the good work!
-
Thanks, everyone! The bonus set was fun.

Thanks, everyone!
I want to give out a free set of the third series.
Just guess this weird question.
What was the die-cut Wacky I saw as a kid that messed with my understanding of physics?
-
Jail-O
-
Moron salt
-
Liptorn?
-
Weakies
-
Fearstone
-
Camals?
-
Muller?
-
Well, I figure we have a one in forty four chance, so I'll go with Lavirus! - Pete
-
Yes, Muller! It was the way the character leaned over the label but was also inside the bottle. I don't remember how young I was, but I remember staring at it trying to figure out how that was supposed to work.
Patrick, I'll send you the set.

Muller?
-
Yes, Muller! It was the way the character leaned over the label but was also inside the bottle. I don't remember how young I was, but I remember staring at it trying to figure out how that was supposed to work.
Maybe he's not really in the bottle, but the label stuck him to the outside of the bottle. I can't say I've ever really wondered about this one.
-
Now I'll give out a Series #2 set.
As a kid, on which non-repeat die-cut did I read the tag line and think, "Well, that's not technically what's happening."
-
You can see the glass reflection in front of his hat which is a giveaway that he's not part of the label. He's also causing bubbles inside the beer. You can see the shadow under his right shoe as it definitely looks like he's standing inside the bottle. Weirdly, the M on the label is over is arm. It all confused me as a kid, but now I just chalk it up to artistic license and I like what was done.

Here is a MAD Magazine cover that fascinated me as 12 year old kid in much the same fashion:

I'll go with Jolly Mean Giant.

I was going to write Jolly Mean Giant too...
So, picking Cracked Jerk -
A
-
That was fast! Yes, I remember thinking he's not splitting peas, he's squashing them. Kids can be so pedantic. I was probably 6 or 7.
PM me your address and I'll get the set out!

This is awesome. I have an uncut sheet of MAD Magazine collector cards, which consists of magazine covers. I wish this was one of them.

Message sent. Thanks, Mark!
-
This i actually an excellent guess. I feel like I should also send you a set.
Liptorn?
-
Mark, could you please tell me the dates of release for the Off the Mark comic strips in this series?
And it looks like the four-card puzzle is a Sunday comic strip instead of a daily one. Is it?
-
Yes, Muller! It was the way the character leaned over the label but was also inside the bottle. I don't remember how young I was, but I remember staring at it trying to figure out how that was supposed to work.
Patrick, I'll send you the set.
ooh, thanks so much!
yes, that character and label are messed up. The right arm looks really strange and goes underneath the Muller logo too.
-
Oh boy, you want details. I think I put the base cards in order of appearance.

Thanks a lot! A little overkill here, though, if you ask me. I was only looking for the dates for the two puzzles and bonus cards B2-B11.
You forgot one bonus card, though - B10, Newman Dressing. Once I have that one, it'll be done. Thanks again!
-
Ah. When you said "could you please tell me the dates of release for the Off the Mark comic strips in this series" you didn't specify bonus cards and puzzles, so I thought you wanted the date of every image that appeared in the comic.

You're right, Mark, that was my fault. I should've been more specific in this case.
-
No problem! Now you have extra information for your database.

Yes, this'll be good information for the Spreadsheet. Oh, Patrick...

I'm curious, Mark, what are the dates of release for all the cards from Series One and Series Two? Just asking and wondering.
-
Do you mean what dates did they appear in Off the Mark?
