Did anyone else notice that the art and text are different from the bio-cards and the mini-postcard cards?  The mini's are the three on the bottom............

I think Neil mentioned that they would be different.

What seem to be identical are the red envelopes, and since the regular sets come unsealed, they are actually nicer to save than the ones that had to be opened with the limited edition sets.

What's the deal with the mini cereal cards? The site says you get ONE card for every TWO p.c. sets purchased but does that mean the LE set or the non LE set?

That's only for the non-limited sets.  You would need to buy 6 sets of the non-limited to get the full set of 3 cards.  Obviously they did this to sell more regular postcard sets, and it works!

Customers who buy LE sets don't get the mini cards, that is weird.

So people must purchase LE sets and regular sets to get everything?    :confused3:

Yup, unless you buy on ebay of course.  If you're like me you want both editions of the postcards because they are a little different.  I certainly didn't need 6 sets though!

Are those who order 6 reg sets getting the set of three mini postcards? I would hate to order six sets and get some dupes on the minis instead of the set of three.

Yep, they're the same. And I suppose there will be those sneaky, low down so & so's who try to pass off resealed LE packs as unopened. One thing I would suggest is, if you buy on the aftermarket, make sure that you get your set(s) from a reliable source (ie, a fellow forum member). And if you do buy from an online auction site, ask the seller if they received their set directly from Topps. They should be able to verify that info with a receipt.

Great. I just placed my order for 6 regular sets. Hoping to get the set of three mini Postcards. Digging the alternate Art on them. Very nice addition to the series.

Topps seems to be deliberately putting in the set of 3 different minis with an order of 6 postcard sets - mine were actually together in a penny sleeve.

I think so, I haven't heard of anyone getting only 3 of them that didn't get all 3.

Damn! Wish I would have known that earlier before I ordered 2. Oh well, I can always find a buyer for the extra mini card. At least I will have a complete set of these.

That's great to hear. I get my order tomorrow. When I was going thru my binder I realized I had forgotten
all about Bonus card TS11 Capn Clunk.  Set will be complete tomorrow. Glad I got in on this series relatively early. The only limited set I had to buy off the bay was the first one.

It's interesting seeing the two versions of each title side-by-side.  I particularly like the mini-postcard version of Count Cluckula, something about the darker colors or the contrast makes it quite striking, and the little bird by the castle goes better with the theme because of the black accents.  With Flabbenbelly, I really like the character on the mini version, but the box color seems too close.  GlooBerry looks pretty good with the darker glue color on the front, but I don't care for the way it looks along the side of the box.

So, are these the color roughs?  I'd like to see more of them in a future set, but not for a little while - my wallet is getting a little light   :^)

I really dig the Postcard Minis. But I don't like the idea of having to buy 6 regular sets to get a complete set. I only need/want 1 set for my collection. I don't want 5 extra sets lying around my house. I feel like Topps made these available just to sell a bunch of extra postcard sets. I suppose I could use them, but who really sends postcards to anyone in this day and age. For me, it is a waste of money to buy 6 sets in order to get the mini set.

Very well put Nez. I agree whole-heartedly. I only bought the 1 regular edition set for my collection. I'm resigned to probably not getting the Minis.

I know some who have expressed the opinion before that they like to limit  their WP collections to the standard trading card
size items. So I think for the people who are so inclined, these mini-postcards are a plus. Although, they would probably prefer all 6 titles to be available and to be the same artwork as the larger counterparts. Personally, I like the idea of including each title in both formats in the Postcard series. But as cute as the mini postcards are, I am a bigger fan of the opposite trend... I would like to see OS and ANS titles released in the larger postcard format. My guilty pleasure wish for Wacky Packages 50th anniversary, would be to see the Original Series 1 through 16 titles re-released in a postcard format/size.

You should send Topps HQ a postcard with that message on it.

So now that series 7 has been out a little while how do you rank the series overall relative to the previous series?  I like the sketch cards equally to the Halloween series, and maybe a tad more.  I think the actual postcards are at least as good if not better than prior series.  I also like series 5 a lot.
