Greetings Forum Ghouls and Ghosts!
It's that time of the year when the spirits come out to play! What exactly do they play? Trivia, of course! Answer this question correctly and you could be rewarded by the spirits...
The Halloween Postcards have been around since 2009. Since that time, how many Vampires have appeared in Wacky Halloween Postcards?
Post your answers here! And feel free to list the vampire titles. The first person with the correct answer will receive a free sketch card of your favorite character drawn by yours truly on a new 2023 Wacky Halloween sketch card! I'll post the correct answer on Saturday evening (10/20/23)!!! Fine print: This trivia game is open to all forum members who have a registered account prior to January 2023. This trivia game is not sponsored or promoted by Topps, Inc. or Fanatics, Inc. in any way.
Good luck and Happy Halloweeeeeeen!!!

Oh boy, what fun!! Can't wait to get home and look! I think I know already, but want to check to be sure :P
-
My guesses - 3 (Cracker Drac, Stake 5, and Red Clots).
-
5 in Topps - 2010 Stake 5, 2010 Mike and Yikes, 2011 Cracker Drac, 2012 Necko, 2020 Halloween Mask-Vampire.
2 in Halloween Pack of Fun - 2015 Croakula, 2016 Smarteries
-
I was delayed, but I think there are 4 occasions with vampires in Halloween sets:
2010 Mike and Yikes
2011 Cracker Drac
2012 Necko Wafers
2020 Scary Lee
-
For What its worth, I think its five also, but the line up would be Stake 5, Mike & Yikes, Cracker Drac, Necko, and Scary Lee. Six, if you want to include the unreleased Red Clots!
-
OK my fellow forum members have covered this really well. With both Pat’s and Pete’s answer being comprehensive and complete but wait! Knowing how sneaky Neil is shouldn’t we add one more and add the vampirized sticker kid who appeared on the envelope of Wacky Halloween postcards 2011. If so that would raise the count to 7 if Clots is included!
-
Some great guesses here! Did anyone remember to check the backs of the postcards? Hee, hee...
-
I don't have all the sets in my inventory, so I will just blindly guess 9 (nine).
-
I count 12 in all.
-
I'm going to assume that the lack of announcement of a winner means we haven't hit the right number yet, so I'll add the little figures on the back of the cards plus the vampire mask to get the very appropriate creepy number 13! How about that?
-
I've watch the 'Price is Right' show. :D I guess 14 times.
-
666
-
If I am allowed another shot, after further research, I'll say 17 appearances.

you beat me to it, that was my guess so I will go 18.
-
I'll guess 0. Vampires don't appear in mirrors or photos or stickers, correct?
-
20 TIMES
-
I'll say 15 (counting (no pun intended) the artists cards and the wrappers).
-
I'll say 10,000

Hopefully wrappers and such don't count because Neil said postcards specifically. :^)

I know that, I'm covering everything just to be on the safe side.

Great job on the Halloween Trivia game everyone!!! Here's a quick rundown of vampires that have appeared on the Wacky Halloween postcards:
2010 Front - Stake 5
2010 Front - Mike and Yikes
2011 Front - Cracker Drac/ Back - Dracula
2012 Front - Necko/ Back - Vampire Bat
2013 Back - Umbrella
2020 Front - Scary Lee mask/ Back - Paste Anyplace vampire kid
BUT...after considering all of the nuances of the original question, the correct answer can actually differ based on some criteria I didn't outline in my original post. For example, if a character appears multiple times (such as "Scary Lee"), does that only count as one vote? Also, some of the characters won't appear until you've had your 2023 set in hand, so that definitely adds a twist!
As a result, I've decided to give everyone who submitted an answer on this thread a free sketch card as my little Halloween treat!
If you submitted an answer, please send me a PM with your contact info and your favorite wacky character and I'll mail you a sketch card for all of your hard work!
Thanks again and I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!!!

Sorry I missed this contest, but wanted to give a shout out to Neil for making some fun with his generous game/offer! On a similarly happy note, I got my shipping notice today. It would be fun to have these in hand on Halloween :)
-
koduck/Neil: Hope you got all the entrants messages and are working on the sketchcards.

Good news! Sketch cards are all finished and on their way to those who participated! Hope everyone enjoyed the trivia game!

Thanks Neil!! :great:

How was your Halloween? Did you get a lot of trick-or-treaters and how much candy do you have left over, if any?
-

Neil, my sketch card came in today! Thanks a million!

I received the sketch card of mine in Saturday's snail mail.

Thanks Neil!!! You truly are a great man!!!
-
Mine came in the mail today as well. I love it!!! It is truly a unique addition to my collection. Thank you so much, Neil, for the generosity of your time and your talent!
-
Neil, I too must echo the thanks and kudos of my fellow forum members! Card received and it’s just too cool! You’re the best and the heart of the Wacky community. Thanks for your generosity and keeping Wackys just so fun!
-
Got mine yesterday and it is fantastic!! Thanks so much Neil!
-
Just received mine today and it is outstanding! Neil, thanks for all you do to keep this hobby going and to keep it fun!!
-
And let me also express my gratitude to Neil for his selfless efforts to make Wackys fun again! It is so easy to buy into the monetization of Wackys and to stop looking at them with the childlike wonder we once had that I must applaud him for his efforts to stem that tide! I wish Neil, and all ALL of you in Wackyland, the very Happiest Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for him and all the other artists who keep creating Wackys, and I'm also thankful for all you collectors who make our artistic obsession possible!
