Soon as I get the dough, I'm in! (That won't be long, though.) I've been waiting a long time for this!

Are you going to have enough of these for a while? I'm a little short on funds for this for the time being.
-
Don't worry, I've got you covered. It will also take time to assemble these.

How long do we have to order some?
-
Take your time. I have plenty and assembling them will take some doing.

I'd be remiss if I didn't thank Paul Harris for his generosity in making this set possible. And if there's one thing I don't want to be it's remiss. Thanks, Paul!

How many sets were made? Thanks

Oh boy! We're gonna need a binder!
-
Just pre-ordered a set and sent a message to you, Mark. Looking forward to the set!
-
Haha! You just gave me something else to consider!
As of today, all the cards are in hand. I just need to sort and sketch and package and... I need a nap already.

Wish I could help sort and package, while you sketched and napped!

Pat,
With the Masters permission, I can take care of the Binder Art unless he wants to Gurggle something up,

Thanks for the offer! But if there's going to be binder art, I'd rather create it.

Any Updates? :D
-
Yes, i'd like to know, too.
-
The sets are assembled and most of the sketches are done.
Was trying to buy postage online and print out labels, but payment keeps getting rejected no matter what credit card I use or even if I try PayPal. Not sure what the issue is.
I may have to take all the boxes to the PO and wait in line and have the worker print out labels individual labels.
Either way, shouldn't be too long!

Thank you for your efforts. I know that the world is not easy these days, even basic tasks and things like paying for postage...

Try using a debit card!
-
Had someone else try it to make sure it wasn't just me. I even opened a different postal account and had the same issue. It doesn't tell me what the problem is, only something about the payment. And all the payment methods are being declined.
So going to the PO tomorrow to mail the first batch. Hope the people behind me in line won't be in a hurry.

Have you tried using shipstation via your paypal account? That's works pretty well.

Bummer. I had the same problems, and a friend said that was how she resolved the issue, by switching to a debit card. I never did get it set up because I couldn't get past the shipping method - it would only let me use priority!

I might give that a try. Are the fees bad?
-
Thanks for all the advice. I'll look into it for next time. I send these priority.
I went to the PO today and mailed out the first batch. Next batch tomorrow!

Got my pages all ready!!

I'm going to wait a bit for you to catch up before I buy a set. LMK if you're running low though.
-
You can order later if you want, but don't wait for my sake. It's easier to send these in batches. ;)

Thanks Mark! Looking forward to this set. Never disappoints!
-
Between this set and the ANS 2023, my sticker budget for the quarter is blown…but in a good way.
-
All the sets have been mailed!
Thanks for the kind comments. You guys make it fun to put these sets together.

When do you think you will be getting the next batch ready? I'm in no rush. I just don't want to miss it before it sells out.

I have some ready to go right now. Once I get an order I will send them out.

Got 'em today and I was LOL'ing!

Outstanding!!! Love the box.

Got Em! Hog Wheels is very on point. Love the set!
-
Hi Mark. Payment sent to you for 1 set! Looking forward to them after reading all the rave reviews!

Thanks! The box will also flatten if you'd rather display it in a binder.

Thanks for revealling that! Will it fit in the pocket of a plastic page too?

Not in the 9-pocket pages. You'll need a bigger pocket.
It's 3.75" x 7.25" unfolded

Mark, another great set! I really enjoy the bonus card subset. Some good laughs. I’ll add my voice to others’ requests for a binder or for some binder art that can be inserted in blank binders. Would really allow us to show off your ever increasing parody sets. They say you shouldn”t judge a book by its cover… but sometimes you can :].
-
Fantastic set! I loved Hogwheels, Looky Charms, Green Eggs and Harm, too many to list. Thanks for the laughs!!
-
A great series, Mark, as usual! I can't believe Topps rejected these potential Wackys in all four of these series! A lot of them are great!
1 Musketeer and Work-Doh: why, Topps, why? Those two were givens, for crying out loud!
And I even got a whole bunch of parodies to add to my "Most-Parodied Wacky" thread! Thanks again, Mark! Can't wait for the next one, even though I know it's going to be the last one for a long, long time, since you'll have caught up with yourself by that time.
UPDATE: As I was tearing down the box for recycling, I noticed it had the date arrival on it as 3/27/23. And that's exactly when it arrived! I guess you still trust the USPS. If it was mailed on 3/24/23 as stated here, that's only four days between the time it was mailed out and the time it got here! Ah, Priority Mail, what would we do without you and how did we do it without you?

I'm not sure I'll be able to swing a binder, but I should be able to make a sheet for a blank binder :great:

Thanks! I suppose if i kept submitting some of these concepts over and over they might break through.
As for the mailing time, it usually within 2 days, but two of those days were weekend days. I have pretty good luck with USPS Priority Mail

You're welcome! I also like that you put a Wacky Packages parody in Series Four just like Topps did in its OS, ANS and OLDS runs. It's nice to keep the tradition going.
And one more thing: i put the box in a special two-pocket in the front and one large one in the back I've used for the Wacky Halloween Postcards. Fits like a glove! Now, if you could please do another box of that type for Series Five, that could go in the other pocket and it'd be great!

I hope to. Also considering boxes for previous sets...
-
Received mine today. These are fantastic!! Really LOL at them all. :great:
Just really really awesome. ;D Great job and appreciate all the effort it takes to get create these and get them all pulled together (and mailed out ;))
-
I hope to. Also considering boxes for previous sets...
Oh, good! I'll have to get those three boxes, too, when they're released. Of course, I'll only need the boxes, since I've already got the series...
-
I would be in for the boxes too!
-
Received safe and sound yesterday.
Thank you for another great set! LOVE the Bonus cards!
Praying for rain :sad: :-X :o for Saturday so I have an excuse to go through them all!! :-[ 8)

I would LOVE to know how the sausage is made at the USPS…..still waiting for my set here in the Midwest. Not Mark’s fault…just gives me something to keep looking forward to…
-
Mark, could you please let me have the original publication dates of these parodies like you did with the last three series? i'd like to give them to Patrick so that he can put them in the Spreadsheet if he wants to do so.
-
Anything yet?
